Tell me, does anyone of you resemble these kittens?

Hi! Please do more of Evening Urgant or Improvisation videos.. I love watching them and they are really helpful for my Russian but I can't find them anywhere else online so I hope you translate more. You have an amazing blog keep up the good work!!

Hi! Absolutely! There's a lot of Evening Urgant content on the official Youtube channel (youtube.com/c/urgantshow), but unfortunately none of the videos are subbed. The Improvisation content is a lot trickier, there's almost no public access to the episodes online. I myself had a hard time finding the source, and the videos aren't subbed either. I already have a couple of episodes in my drafts. I'm going to translate them once I'm finished with all of my exams! Thank you for the feedback, it means so, so much!

Interesting facts about the Russian keyboard layout: Ф is where the English letter A is, and A is where the English letter F is. Also, S is a common plural ending in English, and Ы on the same key is the most common plural ending in Russian.

Hey guys!

Want to learn Russian but don't know where to start? Can't find any motivation to keep learning the language? Don't see any progress in your Russian skills? Want to find actual native speakers to talk to?

This is sort of a promotional post. I'm a teacher at this online academy which is techically a Discord server. We teach Russians English, German, French and many other languages. But we also have Russian classes for foreigners!

A quick grammar reference: what -ся may mean and how to use it.

Know the difference!

“За здоровье!” (roughly translates as “to health!”) — one of the ways of saying “cheers!”. People in Russia like to toast a lot: to friendship, to love, to family etc. “За здоровье!” is just one of those basic toasts.

“На здоровье!” (roughly translates as “for health!”) — one of the ways of saying “you’re welcome”. “На здоровье” basically means something like “what I just did (or said) was done for your hapiness (or health, in this case)”.

Example: Russian version of Detroit: Become Human

M: Breakfast is ready. Bacon and eggs, just the way you like them.

C: Thank you, Marcus.

M: You're welcome.

Improvisation content... What happened?

Hey guys! The Russian Improvisation fandom recieved some bad news and good news in the span of the last 4 months, and I would like to share them with you. They are quite important. First of all, I'm sad to tell you that the original show has been permanently closed. The show has aired for 8 seasons in nearly 7 years.

The reason for the show's closure is NOT its low ratings - Improvisation has been one of the most popular TV shows on the Russian television, and the fanbase keeps growing every day. In short, TNT's management team (the channel Impro was originally aired on) went through some changes, and the new team decided Improvisation had to go (which, in everyone's opinion, makes no sense). Sure, this news is dreadful, but I think the new changes make up for that.

Improvisation changed its name to Improvisators and moved to a different channel called STS and the new episodes started coming out last month! Not only that, but the episodes are now in open access on YouTube! This is great news to all of you who have been asking for the whole 40-minute episodes instead of 5-minute clips that I post here (the videos still aren't subbed though :( ).

I'm very excited to translate a clip from their new show format and I can't wait to show it to you!

Thank you all so much for your patience and have a nice day!

P.S. My friend in Moscow was on the set of their new show and she said she loved the changes. I hope you like it as well!

I was watching Evening Urgant as usual and I just couldn’t resist translating this funny bit for you. What is Ivan talking about? Беляш, беляши — bel’ash (sing.), bel’ashi (plur.) Bel’ash is a dish of Kazakh, Bashkir and Tatar cuisine. It’s practically the same as a regular pirozhok with meat. Except the recipes and the forms of the dishes are a bit different.

P. S. Please let me know if you want me to keep tranlsating fun parts from Russian TV shows and wether or not the Russian subtitles above the screen are comfortable for you to watch/are necessary. Thanks for reading my little blog :)
