I can't complete the Phrases 2 Skill. Russian moderator please read this.
I took this screenshot. This is the only sentence the skill gives me, and it tell me it's incorrect. I have even tried copy-and-pasting the "correct" answer and I'm still marked incorrect. I have reported the problem as should being accepted.

Off-topic (but asking due to your screenshot):
I have not started Russian yet. Are the quotation marks double less than & greater than signs, like << and >>, or are they something else?
I just try to stick to standard Russian punctuation in the sentences. That's what you see in books, articles and, basically, in every place where a person watches the typographic standards.
In mesaging and e-mails, though, people use - and "" instead of — and «» because the latter are not on the keyboard anywhere.
They are not double inequality signs; they are the actual thing. If you're on a Mac, hold the "option" key, and hit the | key, right beside the } and { keys. For the other direction, hold own "option + shift"
They should look like this: «»
Using inequality signs would look like: <<>>
Side by side for the difference: <<«»>>
