Po Ruski

Russian has three tenses -- Present, Past, and Future.

English:
"I will have killed you five minutes before you were going to kill me."

Russian:
"I will kill you [...] five minutes before that time which you prepared to kill me."

Also, the word order is moderately flexible. I've arranged the nouns and verbs in the English way for comparison purposes.
