*"Rhodes Island, I advance."* One of the best well written and overall character yet in the story. That's just show even it meant his end, he keep stay fighting even against the very fate itself. He never back away, turn around, nor betray his own beliefs. But he finally believe that the new heir will be a good one and ensure the better of the future. Pretty much same case for his adopted daughter.

[@neardarkroad1347]

Chapter 8 makes me confuses about Patriot. Is he fighting Ursus to save the infected suffered by them or is he saving the infected to fight Ursus? Its true that the infected he saved are trained by him later as guerilla force to fight against Ursus, albeit in small skirmish to obtain resources in order to survive in the tundra.

[@emprinyx]

@@neardarkroad1347 Both. Ursus itself is hunting them down so the first and latter part is unavoidable and also to became independent on their own too.

[@milkcarton7064]

He betrayed himself for the very last time when he spared Amiya. Based on his beliefs, he would have killed her right then and there, to take matters to his own hands and reject the prophecy, reject fate, as he's always done in the past. But he didn't, he did what Yelena (Frostnova) did to Talulah, believe in her, believe that she won't become Kashchey. Buldrokkas'tee believed in Amiya, believed in the Cautus, that she will not become the prophesized disaster of Terra.

[@inapostle8th]

@@milkcarton7064 The funny thing is... It's by believing in Amiya that Patriot really broke is fate. He was a puppet at the hands of a prophecy and the way he try to reject it is just self-fulling it. You can't change fate if you want control, the only way to change fate is to let go of it.

Here's an alternative translation I've found which places emphasis on preserving the poetic nature of the lyrics, but please be mindful that I don't understand a word of Russian and cannot speak for its accuracy. It was when no one smiled any longer Save the dead, who were glad of release. As for what's happened, May sackcloth and ashes enshroud it, And see all the lamps are removed... Night. So madness now has wrapped its wings Round half my soul and plies me, heartless, With draughts of fiery wine, begins To lure me towards the vale of darkness. And I can see that I must now Concede the victory - as I listen, The dream that dogged my fevered brow Already seems an outside vision. And only flowers decked with dust, And censers ringing, footprints thrust Somewhere-nowhere, afar. And, staring me straight in the eye And warning me that death is nigh, Is one enormous star. Mountains bend beneath that boundless sorrow, And the mighty river stops its flow. So madness now has wrapped its wings Round half my soul and plies me, heartless, With draughts of fiery wine, begins To lure me towards the vale of darkness. And I can see that I must now Concede the victory - as I listen, The dream that dogged my fevered brow Already seems an outside vision. Source: Kemball, R.

Уже безумие крылом, Души накрыло половину, И поит огненным вином И манит в черную долину. И поняла я, что ему Должна я уступить победу, Прислушиваясь к своему Уже как бы чужому бреду. И только пыльные цветы, И звон кадильный, и следы Куда-то в никуда. И прямо мне в глаза глядит И скорой гибелью грозит Огромная звезда. Перед этим горем гнутся горы, Не течет великая река. Уже безумие крылом, Души накрыло половину, И поит огненным вином И манит в черную долину. И поняла я, что ему Должна я уступить победу, Прислушиваясь к своему Уже как бы чужому бреду. Eto bylo, kogda ulybalsya Tol'ko mertvyy, spokoystviyu rad a to, chto sluchilos' Pust' chernyye sukna pokroyut, I pust' unesut fonari... Noch'.

I ponyala ya, chto yemu Dolzhna ya ustupit' pobedu, Prislushivayas' k svoyemu Uzhe kak by chuzhomu bredu. I tol'ko pyl'nyye tsvety, I zvon kadil'nyy, i sledy Kuda-to v nikuda.

Madness with its wings has covered half my soul. It feed me fiery wine, and lures me into the abyss. That's when I understood while listening to my delirium that I must hand the victory to it. There are now only dusty flowers, the chinking of the thurible, tracks from somewhere into nowhere. And, staring me in the face, and threatening me with swift annihilation. An enormous star. The high crags decline before this woe The great river does not flow ahead. Madness with its wings has covered half my soul. It feed me fiery wine, and lures me into the abyss.

Если я правильно понял, то в каноне язык Урсус звучит как искажённый русский (исходя из коллаба с Rainbow SIx Siege, где упоминалось, что Тачанка говорил на Урсусе со странным акцентом)

[@Guapter]

потому, что похоже на рандомную выборку строк. Текст на английском вообще не стыкуется с текстом на славянском/русском языке. Видимо никто из участников/создателей песни не знал нормально русский язык. Накидали строки из стихов Анны Ахматовой не связанные друг с другом, напутали ударения и подлежащие/сказуемые.

[@danhoc]

@@Guapter На самом деле они знали русский язык, но не в современном виде. Серж Либеровский (вокалист) руководит Хором Храма Покрова Пресвятой Богородицы в Лос-Анджелесе (храм Западноамериканской Русской православной церкви). Поют они там близко к нашему церковному пению, использую дореволюционные наречья, что и даёт "искажённые" ударения. Поэтому никакой ошибки там нет.

@@izarrrno они не совсем родственники. Патриот спас ФростНову, когда она была еще ребенком. Насколько я помню, она и ее друзья сбежали из шахты-тюрьмы, куда ссылали неугодных Урсусу людей. Патриот нашёл ее в снежной пустыне и взял с собой. К ФростНове он относился как к родной дочери (родного сына он потерял во время восстания в Урсусе), и сама девочка называла его отцом. И да, в последних двух главах они погибают, причем трагически. Их характеры раскрываются с новой стороны - они уже не злодеи, как в первых главах, а жертвы ситуации и махинаций одного человека.

Buldrokkas'tee, lost everything dear to him, fighting a futile battle against fate, yet he kept marching forward, never backing down even once until he met his demise in the hand of RI Both of you are the shining light and a true Reunion where everything has gone to ruin. Be free, and suffer no more

One of the best songs on the game! amazing

[@ЛисПустыни-л6н]

Прекрасная песня. Браво. Фон отлично подходит под общее настроение композиции,жаль,лор для меня нечто недосягаемое,но даже без понимания ситуации, клип заставил глаза слезится,настолько здесь энергетика сыграла роль,ещё раз браво.

as a non-Russian speaker, I tried singing the song. a red demonic circle then appears in the middle of the room and Ifrit emerged from the ground.

If you sang in Latin and a red portal appeared, it would be hell, but if after a song in Russian a red portal appeared - maybe it leads to the red square, to Lenin's mausoleum.

[@sayanekomura6905]

If someone is interested in the full translation: (I'm bad at English, so I translated using Google, don't swear for grammar): "DEDICATION" Mountains bend before this grief The great river does not flow But the prison locks are strong, And behind them "convict holes" And deadly longing. For someone a fresh wind blows For some, the sunset is basking - We don't know, we're the same everywhere We hear only the hateful grinding of keys Yes, the steps are heavy soldiers. They rose as if to early mass, They walked wildly through the capital, They met there, breathless dead, The sun is lower and the Neva is foggy And hope sings in the distance. The verdict ... And immediately tears will pour, From everyone is already separated, As if life was taken out of the heart with pain, As if rudely overturned on your back, But it goes ... Staggers ... Alone. Where are the involuntary friends now My two rabid years? What does it seem to them in the Siberian blizzard, What does he see in the lunar circle? I send them my farewell greetings. "INTRODUCTION" It was when I smiled Only dead, glad to be calm. And dangled as an unnecessary appendage Near its prisons Leningrad. And when, mad with agony, The regiments were already condemned, And a short song of parting The locomotives sang beeps The death stars were above us And innocent Russia writhed Under the bloody boots And under the tires of black marus. I They took you away at dawn I followed you, like on a takeaway, Children were crying in the dark room At the goddess, the candle swam. Cold icons on your lips Death sweat on his brow ... Do not forget! I will be like streltsy women Howl under the Kremlin towers. II The quiet Don flows quietly, The yellow moon enters the house. Enters with a hat on one side. The yellow moon sees a shadow. This woman is sick This woman is alone. Husband in the grave, son in prison Pray for me. III No, it's not me, it's someone else who suffers I couldn't do that, but what happened Let the black cloth cover And let the lanterns carry away ... Night. IV Show you, mockery And the favorite of all friends Tsarskoye Selo cheerful sinner, What will happen to your life - Like the three hundredth, with the transfer, You will stand under the Crosses And with my hot tear Burn New Year's ice. There the prison poplar sways, And not a sound - how much is there Innocent lives are ending ... V I've been screaming for seventeen months I call you home She threw herself at the feet of the executioner, You are my son and my horror. Everything is confused forever And I can't make out Now who is the beast, who is the man, And how long to wait for the execution. And only lush flowers And the ringing of incense, and the traces Somewhere to nowhere. And looks straight into my eyes And threatens with imminent death A huge star. VI Lungs fly by weeks. I don’t understand what happened How do you, son, go to jail White nights looked How they look again With a hot hawk eye About your high cross And they talk about death. VII "SENTENCE" And the stone word fell On my still living chest. Nothing, because I was ready I can handle it somehow. I have a lot to do today: We must kill the memory to the end, It is necessary for the soul to turn to stone We must learn to live again. Otherwise ... The hot rustle of summer Like a holiday outside my window. I had a premonition of this A bright day and an empty house. VIII "TO DEATH" You will come anyway - why not now? I'm waiting for you - it's very difficult for me. I turned out the light and opened the door To you, so simple and wonderful. Take whatever form you like Burst in with a poisoned projectile Or sneak up with a weight like an experienced bandit, Or poison it with typhoid fumes. Or a fairy tale invented by you And everyone is adorably familiar, - So that I can see the top of the blue hat And the house manager, pale with fear. I don't care now. The Yenisei swirls, The Polar Star shines. And the blue shine of beloved eyes The last horror obscures. IX Already madness by the wing Half covered the soul And gives me fiery wine And beckons to the black valley. And I realized that he I must surrender the victory Listening to your It's like someone else's delirium and won't allow anything I take it away with me (No matter how you beg him And no matter how you bother with prayer): Not a son's terrible eyes - Petrified misery Not a day when a thunderstorm came Not the hour of the prison meeting, Not the sweet coolness of the hands, No agitated shades of lime trees No distant light sound - Words of last consolation. May 4, 1940, Fountain House X "CRUCIFIXION" "Do not cry to Me, Mother, see in the grave" 1 The choir of angels glorified the great hour, And the heavens melted in fire. He said to his father: "Why did he leave me!" And the Mother: "Oh, don't cry for Me ..." 2 Magdalene fought and sobbed The beloved disciple turned to stone, And to where Mother stood silently, So no one dared to look. "EPILOGUE" 1 I learned how faces fall As fear peeps out from under the eyelids, How cuneiform hard pages Suffering leads to the cheeks Like curls of ash and black They suddenly become silver The smile fades on the lips of the submissive, And in a dry laugh, fright trembles. And I'm not praying for myself alone And about everyone who stood there with me And in the fierce cold, and in the July heat Under a red, blinded wall 2 Again the funeral hour approached. I see, I hear, I feel you: And the one that they barely brought to the window, And the one that does not trample the ground with her own, And the one that, shaking her beautiful head, She said: "I come here as if I were home." I would like to name everyone by name, Yes, they took away the list, and there is nowhere to find out. For them I have woven a wide veil Of the poor, they have overheard words. I remember them always and everywhere, I will not forget about them even in a new trouble, And if my tortured mouth is clamped With which a hundred million people shout, May they remember me the same way On the eve of my memorial day. And if someday in this country They plan to erect a monument to me, I give consent to this celebration, But only with a condition - do not put it Not near the sea where I was born: The last one with the sea is severed, Not in the royal garden at the treasured stump, Where an inconsolable shadow seeks me And here, where I stood for three hundred hours And where the bolt was not opened for me. Then, that in blissful death I am afraid Forget the rumble of black marus, Forget how the hateful slammed the door And the old woman howled like a wounded animal. And let from motionless and bronze eyelids, Melted snow flows like tears And let the prison dove walk in the distance, And the ships are quietly walking along the Neva.

[@sayanekomura6905]

The poems were inspired by the political repression that Akhmatova herself was subjected to. You can read about repression here - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Purge, but I warn you - the article in English is VERY one-sided and relies on not entirely trusted sources, namely: articles in magazines, books from people having no history education, books from people with history education (but ideologically minded against the ussr), "eyewitnesses and witnesses", so you should think twice about whether you can believe this article. And even an article on the Russian Wikipedia, because it is also quite one-sided and relies on similar sources. Unfortunately, history is easy to rewrite, and we live in a time where everyone is throwing mud at the USSR, sometimes deservedly, sometimes undeservedly. Just keep in mind the fact: the numbers of people "killed" during the repression are GREATLY overestimated, judge for yourself - according to some sources, during the purges up to 20kk people were executed, which even sounds absurd. Many of these sources contradict themselves, they call absurd numbers, and they are different all the time. YES, there were executions. YES, sometimes innocent people died. YES, this is monstrous. BUT besides this, there was a lot of good in the USSR, we must not forget about it. The USSR was not an empire of evil, in which there was only bad. And maybe I didn’t read the raft well, but it seemed to me that the heir of the USSR in Arknights (Ursus) was also not presented from the best side - I remember how the cleansing, brainwashing of the population were described, but something kind and bright was not I remember. It is sad.

Patriot is very similar to the 86-ers in 86 series. They never run, even they knew they would die, even they have option to do so, they fight to the bitter end. They are pride warriors.

Running from his Hometown, lie to his son that leads him to his death, finally regain what is "love" from certain Orphan Ice girl that was about to be executed, rebuild his family, became a perfect example of man that love his country, never back down, always fight for those that needs, even when the country doesnt care about what he did...he still cared for his country, never back down to his ideals, will kill anything that stands in his way, a man that literally became legend itself... "O, Patriot , the one who fight for his country, you shall now rest along with all of your Family...on there may find happiness and peace"
