Yeah, I agree. Starting with C as a first language can be a bad idea especially since you have to learn so much about memory management.
Python is a pretty good language to start. I'm surprised nobody gave Slava a true welcome into the world of programming by saying... RTFM!
Kidding! That being said, the official documentation is really good and I would suggest that as the starting point. Check out the official doc here and read through the tutorials:
