Being fluent in Russian[0], I have a large reference library of Russian works, including a long out-of-print seventeenth century text on the history of Mongolia, which I proceed to cite in order to explain that people from that region, including many parts of China, are all seven feet tall with blue eyes and speak remarkably good Swedish.

Now track down that reference work.  You have three days.
