As you're a Turkish, maybe Russian's little easier to learn than Chinese. I guess, Turki languages have more relations with Slavic languages than Chinese, though, on the whole, Russian & Turkish are syntactically very different from eath other.

I read a book about language learning which contains a list of languages and their difficulty to learn it. 1 to 10, 1=easiest, 10=most difficult Chinese (Mandarin): 7 <- takes a lot time to learn it (especially the characters), pronounciation not so easy Russian: 6-7 <- difficult grammar So, both of them are difficult, but in another way... it's hard to compare it. Anyway, I guess you can learn Russian faster than Chinese.

I don`t think the more important thing is which is harder .it depends on which is more useful for yourself. as a foreigner, both of them are difficult.you should consider more that which one you really need.also it has sth. with your interest.

For an English speaker DEFINITELY Chinese, Russian is sooooo close to English!! Like it might seem esoteric but the alphabet is like 50% Latin, 25% greek and 25% pure Slavic and spelling is SOOO much easier because the alphabet actually fits it. Russian grammar is much closer to English than Chinese. Generally Chinese has a repuatation as insanely difficult because of like the tons of characters , tonal language, Russian is not that hard! The grammar, you just have to memorize cases like 36 per word I think but there are declensions so it's a pattern...a lot of the vocabulary is the same... milk=moloko please=pajalista student=studyent ...not so difficult!
