That's an interesting statement; do you have any experience with that
at all, or are you simply speculating? I have never heard any claim
that machine translation would be more difficult for some particular
languages. It's generally a hard problem, and each language has its
specific issues, not only Russian (that has 6 cases, by the way, not 7,
and really only one fully conjugated tense).
