Russian affairs
Thanks Gareth for alerting us to the Guardian story of Burton’s chic (sic) T-shirt with its trendy design proclaiming “Очистим Русь от всех нерусских!”. The store’s buyers were told that this translated loosely as “Be proud of Russia”.
Sometimes, of course, loose translations aren’t good enough. A better translation might be: “Let’s cleanse Russia of all [...]
A report in London Info - a weekly newspaper for Russian community - this week highlights the Beatles Experience in Liverpool, and is particularly pleased to discover its audioguide, in Russian! It’s nice to have one’s work appreciated!
I was entertained by the first instalment of Lost Cosmonaut, which is being serialised on Radio 4. I sympathise with his description of buying a railway ticket at a Russian railway station. I’ve probably only done it once, when we went from Petersburg to Novgorod - or at least I watched Olya doing it - [...]

Thank you Olya, for my new Soviet calendar. What better day than my birthday, to read all about the balalaika, на русском языке - and celebrate the birthday in 1723 of proto-Marxist Baron Holbach

Here are a few more good-looking Russian resources:

I haven’t tasted anything as more-ish for a long time, as these cranberries in a sugar shell. They are made by Кондитерская фабрика “Ударница”, ул. Шаболовка 13, Moscow, and if anyone can tell me how to get hold of them in London I’ll be forever in your debt. Come on Fabrika Udarnitsa, start shipping them [...]
Here’s a link to Max’s Blog. I particularly enjoyed
the picture of him discussing his new front door with, uh, himself. Now that’s what I call Quadrophenia.
Who’s this little fellow? You probably know him in a different guise: it’s Winnie The Pooh in Russian. He
certainly doesn’t look much like anything out of Disney, nor the original Shepard [...]
