— что я могу сказать? я — роза в снегу, светлое пятно в твоей

In case you didn't know, Dostoevsky FM is not a radio station.

It's 11/11, Fyodor Dostoevsky's birthday.

Now tell me,

“Alone, and not alone. Severed, but not adrift. There were too many lives tangled up in hers. Too many people to care about, and once again, she didn’t know whether to stay or to run”

— V. E. Schwab, A Conjuring of Light

Here's a comp of completely random pictures in Russian that make me giggle: pt 3

Suffix -ина for 'meat of...'

In English, words for animals and words for their meat can look very different. In Russian, there is a regular model to make a word for "meat" from the name of the animal. All you need to do is add the suffix -ина to the root of the word:

Свинья -> свинина 🐷

Баран -> баранина 🐑 (баран is a male sheep, ram, not just any sheep, but it gives the name for the lamb meat).

There could be some phonetic modifications though, the stem can be shorter or longer:

Курица -> курятина 🐔

Also, for cow meat, Russian uses the archaic root *govędo:

Корова -> говядина 🐮

The model works for virtually any meat source, but let's stop here.

This Twitter thread really spoke to me. I wanted to share it with anyone who hasn’t seen it. 

Paskha is a Russian dish consisting of tvorog (farmer's cheese), butter, sugar, egg yolks, cream, and vanilla for flavoring. The dessert is traditionally prepared for Easter, its white color symbolizing Christ's purity and the Paschal Lamb. Paskha is shaped into a pyramid with its top cut off, symbolizing either the Church or Christ's tomb. It is decorated with religious symbols on its sides, such as crosses or letters. The dish can be additionally decorated with nuts, dried fruits, or flowers, and it is usually taken to church to be blessed, then consumed with the traditional Easter bread known as kulich. src.: https://www.tasteatlas.com/paskha photo ref.: https://petersfoodadventures.com/chocolate-paskha/#recipe
