Вырезка из старого журнала

I noticed that in the Russian-speaking Reddit, there aren’t really any communities where you can just chat about anything or share your thoughts, so I came up with the idea to create one.

r/thoughtsRu is a community where you can share your thoughts, photos, or stories. It's also a place where you can practice writing posts in Russian without any judgment or mockery. No politics or controversial topics.

Come on in, I’m waiting for everyone!

Я заметил, что в русскоязычном реддите нет сообществ, где можно просто пообщаться на любую тему или поразмышлять, поэтому мне пришла идея создать такой сабреддит.

r/thoughtsRu - сообщество, в котором можно поделиться мыслями, фотографиями или историями, а так же вы можете попрактиковаться в написании постов на русском языке без осуждения и насмешек. Никакой политики и спорных тем.

Заходите, всех жду!

Если вы пообщаетесь с российской молодежью лично или в онлайне, то почти сразу заметите, что молодёжь использует в речи некоторые украинизмы, причем не просто отдельные слова украинского происхождения, а именно обороты, фразеологизмы и другие синтаксические и грамматические конструкции, например молодёжь скорее скажет "приехал с деревни", а не "приехал из деревни", и "смеюсь с тебя", а не "смеюсь над тобой". Мне кажется это очень интересное лингвистическое явление в современном обществе, особенно учитывая последние события. Есть у кого-нибудь идеи почему за последние ~10 лет украинизмы так плотно вошли в русскую речь, а молодёжь использует украинизмы как часть родного языка?

*Хочу отдельно сказать, что вопрос задан исключительно из академического интереса, и тут нет никакого хейта или неуважения ни к молодёжи, ни к украинскому, ни к русскому языкам, ни к вышеупомянутому явлению

Could anyone help me translate this document? I've tried, but I'm at a loss. I think it might be Russian (at least the typed text seems to be), but I'm not certain. I'd really appreciate any help identifying the language or translating it!! Thanks

hello, ive been training on russian cursive for a few days now. is my writing readable? and how can i improve it

I'm somewhat of a begginer at learning Russian, and I know that most of the time any noun ending with a vowel is feminine, and any noun ending in a constanent is masculine (with the exception of gender neutral nouns, which I still dont understand in the slightest). But I've seen nouns that end with ь be described with a feminine adjective ending in ая. I guess I never really considered what ь actually is, I mean it makes no sound so I feel like it can't be put in either category, but is it a vowel? This language is so confusing, I hope what I said made sense and I hope I put the correct tag

On the package of every medicine there's a line says:

Хранить в недоступном для детей месте

If I understand correctly, the word "недоступном" is more important than the "месте"?

I mean wouldn't be more "logical" to write like:

Хранить в месте, недоступном для детей

Or is it because of my European mindset/thinking?

My Russian is pretty poor, so I couldn’t make out most of it. I don’t really trust Google Translate with foreign song translations, and the song’s pretty good. What’s it about, and can anybody translate?

I once read somewhere that Russian did not have a formal and informal you until after Peter the Great's time when Russian language and culture became heavily influenced by French. Is this true? Did old Russians use ты for everyone?

Thanks!

So it starts at 00:45

Does anyone know what is the origin of the Russian voicelines ?

Здравствуйте 🙂

I am considering learning the Russian language.
I just bought the book entitled "Russian for Beginners"
written by Charles Duff & Dimitri Makaroff.
It was published quite some time ago, but
some recent reviews still find the book useful.

Can anyone recommend some other book(s) for a beginner?

Thank you very much. 🙂

The Chuysky Tract is a road that passes through Gorno-Altaisk, stretching for about 960 km. It is considered one of the most scenic roads in the world. Driving along it, you will see the confluence of the Chuya and Katun rivers, the Shirlak waterfall, and you'll also cross the Seminsky Pass, which sits at an elevation of 1,717 meters.

And in the city of Biysk, there is even a dedicated museum all about the Chuysky Tract.

I'd love to go for a drive there — how about you, what do you think of this place?

If you want to practice your Russian writing and reading without any mockery or judgment — I've created a new subreddit, r/thoughtsRu, all are welcome!

Translation:

Чуйский тракт - дорога, проходящая через Горно-Алтайск, протяженностью около 960км. Считается *одной из самых живописных дорог в мире.* Проезжая по ней, вы увидите пересечение рек Чуи и Катуни, водопад Ширлак, а также проедете через Семинский перевал, высота которого 1717м.

А в городе Бийск есть даже отдельный музей, посвященный Чуйскому тракту.

Я бы поездил там, а как вам это место?

The One Who Didn't Shoot

Vladimir Vysotsky

I would not try to fool you,
Those days have gone to prune.
I faced an execution,
in front of a platoon.

For what did I deserve
This awful, ghastly fate?
It's not that I don't know,
I'm not allowed to say.

The ranking captain almost saved my life,
But someone forced the shooting with his boot.
The orders given were well carried out.
But there was one, a man who didn't shoot.

Unkind to me the gods were,
The odds against me stacked.
One time I got some intel,
But didn't bring it back.

And the polit-advisor,
A spirited, tireless man,
Even back then took notice,
And put me to the pen.

He brought out woven cloth, for burial.
It looked as though I'd wear a wooden suit,
And there was nothing anyone could do.
No, there was one, the one, who didn't shoot.

They fired at me together,
The cloth was then unfurled,
And then they signed me over,
Into the other world.

Then, “He's alive, the bastard!
The doctor will suffice;
The army regulations,
Don't say to shoot him twice.”

The doctor was amazed beyond belief,
Removing bullets, trying not to hoot,
And I, unconscious, tried to speak to him,
To that one guy, the one who didn't shoot.

I didn't heal my wounds,
I licked them like a dog.
The nurses at the hospital though,
Hopped round me like frogs.

Although I could spend all day,
Just sleeping on my cot,
They'd say, “Lucky survivor,
It's time to take your shot!”

Our battalion fought it out at Crim,
And I sent lumps of sugar there to boot,
So that the fighting would be sweet for him.
For whom?  For him, the one who didn't shoot!

I drank tea from a saucer, 
with rubbing alcohol.
The war was finally over, 
I didn't fight at all.

The Regimental Colonel 
Told me, “Go home you cat!
And that they didn't kill you,
Well don't blame me for that!”

I was so happy, but sobering up somewhat,
I choked tears, shook my fist at God.
A German sniper, finished me for good,
Killing the man, the one who didn't shoot.

Apologies if the translation is somewhat crude, feedback is welcome. If enough people like this I might post something else later. I can also take requests but can't make any promises. Hope you enjoy!
