Madan: The Russian Dictionary (http://dic.academic.ru/misc/enc3p.nsf/ByID/NT0000E2FE) also has a definition for are, which as far as I remember, we learned just as a hardly used unit.
�� �� (�� ���. area - �������) - ������� ������� � ����������� ������� ���, 1 �� = 100 �? = 0,01 ��. TRANSLATION: ARE (from Latin area - area) - unit of area in metric system of measurements, 1 are - 100 m? = 0,01 ha.
