"I should be able to read code written anywhere in the world and understand what it does"

You cannot read tons of code written in the 1C language [0] unless you know Russian, but I don't think it's a loss for you or for Russians because it's a scripting language used by a suit of enterprise software dealing mostly with ever changing Russian accounting standards and tax code [1].

At the same time it's economically effective to use Russian language because it lowers the entry barrier into 1C programming and allows domain experts to understand some of the code.

P.S. Yes, I didn't bother to read the second paragraph :)

My Russian is shitty, but not so shitty to not understand what "govnokod" means :-)

Anyone with experience in 1C/tales of 1C? I've been curious about it since discovering it existed.

Not me :) If you are interested in something specific I could try to google (or should I say 'to yandex' in this case?) that for you and hopefully you'll be able to read it with the help of Google Translate.
