I am learning to play it for three months now. Already making some progress. This game is awesome. Glad that it is getting more popular. Seriously, would recommend everybody to learn. I've played Russian pyramid with one English guy who'd never played it before but was a good snooker player. He was quite good. So, go for it guys. You'll love it!

Yesterday I tried to play it for the first time. 30 minutes - 2 balls pocketed. SUPER hard! The pockets are so small that it looks almost impossible to put the ball in.

Russian Pyramid looks like a super difficult game! I have never really had the chance to see it other than on YouTube and you will not find a table in the UK - although you can buy the ball sets!

you can find Russian billiards in Armenian billiard rooms in Los Angeles.

And after playin on the Russian table, playin on the American table is like playin on a little toy.
