I used to love learning russian. My russian speaking, moscow educated ukrainian friend used to teach me, but she doesn't want to do that anymore. Hopefully sometime in the future I can pick it up again.

Why not to learn Ukrainian instead? It quite similar but sounds much better.
Barely anyone speaks it, even those who do typically speak Russian just as good if not better.
Millions of Ukrainians who use the language is not "barely anyone".
However that is true that many of Ukrainians are bilingual, due to decades of russian occupation and ethnic cleansing.
