Indeed, all the Slavic languages are like this. Non-native speakers (especially when their native language is grammatically simple, such as English) have trouble; I speak from experience ;)

One well-known non-native Russian speaker (Stalin) fudged case endings - I thought that was a folk tale, but have heard recordings and it is true!
