My opinion on reading books | Russian Podcast

[@RedTitan5]

I will still study Russian... Politics shouldn't matter... My heart wishes peace to all sides... Especially the ordinary people... Because they will suffer the most..not the higher ups... To all of us outside Russia and Ukraine we should appreciate/grateful the freedom our home countries are experiencing... Thank you Fedor...

[@sangria-margarita]

I agree. I cannot believe that it's a controversial opinion to wish safety for Ukrainians AND Russians. I don't want any innocent people to get killed.

[@andrewigumnov993]

I'm from Russia and I'm really glad to hear that you understand that... we don't want war, but politicians does, and our president does. I wish all the Ukrainians be safe and I wish anyone to live in peace, not in war. Btw, Russian language is great and beautiful, I think it's very cool that you're learning it.

[@mchobbit2951]

I personally stopped. Not only because of the conflict, but it was kind of the straw the broke the camel's back.

[@radishpineapple74]

@@mchobbit2951 I'm bothering to reply because I was in the same situation. After the invasion in 2014, I stopped having anything to do with the Russian language, and even the Russian people, for several years. It's disgusting to see giant group of people who support imperialism and violence, but it's essentially the norm for any Russian over the age of 35, and common even among the youth. The Russian people do indeed deserve a ton of blame for this. Why haven't they stood up? Where are the millions coming out onto the streets? They can't throw millions into jail. They're not protesting because they don't want to. It's because the average Russian has an innate need to be feared, so they see nothing wrong with imperialism. The average Russian enjoys feeling superior. It's gross. Maybe you'll eventually learn the language again, maybe you won't. Remember that you're not doing it because you like the Russian government. People will say: "I don't agree with the Russian government but I love the people and the culture." I say: don't do it for the people, because in the end, Russian people will disappoint you 9 times out of 10. Don't even do it for the culture, because when you really look into it, Russian culture is essentially founded on imperialism and the destruction of hundreds of other groups of people, each with their own language and culture. If you do get back into the language, do it for the few rare Russian individuals who have actually CREATED something great and worthwhile.

I personally think that, more than ever, this is the time to be studying Russian. To increase understanding of the news, messages, conversations etc. from Russia, amongst other reasons. The Russian language is historically and artistically significant, Russian culture and people are fascinating and beautiful, and with this war, the way to ending it is to dive into the minds of the Russian political machinery and understand what is being communicated. Heck, who knows if this comment will be removed to stop exactly that from happening. Is Big Brother watching?

[@fassolhermani5984]

Pointless. I know russian and it's just propaganda, they omit details and support their delusional agenda. The Russians who know English and Russian and consume media from both sides are the ones against war.

[@robetheridge6999]

I don’t need to understand Russian Propaganda. I have friends taking in refugees into their villages and cities from Romania to Croatia (I have lived in both places). I don’t need the propaganda. I am learning Russian because I love people. I don’t need propaganda to tell me how nice the Russians are. The propaganda wants you to know how nice the warning faction is, not everyday Russians. I will continue to learn Russian in order to speak to my Christian friends from my Baptist church. The church I attend has several hundred, mainly Russian-speaking, Ukrainians. Our pastor preaches in Russian, not Ukranian. I would like to hear from Fedor to know how things are for him and his wife.

[@sandraoszynska8999]

@@robetheridge6999 woww awesome brother! I started learning it for the people as well, maybe to be able to preach the Gospel to russians, ukrainians, any russian speaking people. Who knows if God wants me to be a missionary one day? I'm also from Poland, living in Ireland, and there are so many ukrainians living in Poland, even more now of course. So russian would really come in handy. And its just a beautiful language with many similar words as to Polish 😁 to God be the glory!

[@russianimmersion2656]

I'm not a native Russian speaker - kind of obvious here but I've had terribly difficulties with Dostoevsky too. I found out over time that his writing wasn't actually that good as far as being "literary" and that he was sloppy and repetitive - with overlong sentences and paragraphs. He was paid by quantity since he was writing in periodicals and Russians couldn't get enough of him so he kept churning out material. I later read some essays where people who really knew a lot about Dostoevsky explained that he deliberately wrote in the style of the type of literary "hack" that was all too common at the time. It makes it painful for a Russian language student to churn through all of this dense writing but there it is. What's many of the translators deliberately "cleaned up" Dostoevsky in English> Naturally a lot of the humor and irony gets lost but I didn't realize that he was actually mocking or maybe just channeling the kind of "hacky" periodical writing of the day. This was a time when educated Russians looked to the French for their literature. Things had changed when Gogol and Pushkin were showing everybody that Russian was just as good as any other language for expressing ideas and describing human foibles, using irony and satirizing their countrymen. I hope this helps a bit. I'm still learning. I made a lot of progress with my Russian using "Lingvist" which is an Estonian language learning app. I like "Be Fluent in Russian" videos. They are great for beginners because they make Russian sound easy. They are also a help later on because Fedor really, really deep dives into the nuances of words that have similar meaning but there are important differences in nuance or it's important to understand when one word is used in a given situation and not another. Good luck with "Demons." There's a video by a US Russian professor ( Irwin Weil ) who spend his life teaching Dostoevsky and other Russian authors. In case you haven't come across his videos here it is - Irwin Weil kzbin.info/aero/PLxBcpgR5O2YUSyxBlTf7D06lGqnVWG9E_ When he was young and first started reading Crime and Punishment it changed his life, he learned Russian and he never stopped learning. He has an interesting take on "The Idiot." I don't want to give it away. His opinion of the book is different from a lot of other book critics. Reading this heavy literature can take on a lot of new meaning when living through really crazy times like now - although Dostoevsky can be witty and light at times - some of it comes through the translations but critics have said that some of the humor is lost.

I think he said he has always preferred to stay away from the politics. There is so much being said now. You can easily find Russian language twitter discussions. Reading Russian literature from the 19th and 20th century there is so much to find out because they people have lived through so much. Even Science Fiction is there. Zamyatin wrote a book called "We" which was an inspiration for Orwell and Aldous Huxley.
