“Back in my art school, I had a nasty and strict professor who would comment on every bad work of mine with “What is that? Even dolphins would do a better job!” Even though he would often be extremely annoying and piss me off, he still was a great teacher, so right after I graduated I gave him two tickets to a dolphinarium and saw his smile for the first time.” Source: vk.com/pn6

Just a fun fact #7

The origin of the Russian (and English) word ‘робот’ (robot) comes from Czech’s ‘robota’, which translates to ‘forced labour’. From this word also comes Russian’s ‘работа’, which means ‘work’.

I was just serfing the net and came across this video. I really love old educational videos for Russian learners, so I thought I’d share it. (I don’t know why I find the last conversation so funny, but it is)

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!

Just wanted to let you know that English speaking people aren’t the only people who have problems with the word ‘pregnant’. This is Milla Jovovich trying to say the word ‘забеременела’ on a local Russian TV show. The original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AATwZGHgn24&t=229s

Ladies and gentlemen, Alexander Rusakov as Russian Levi. You're welcome.

Back in the 90’s, my mom was doing a fan translation of this one book that wasn’t translated into Russian yet, but she was sure it was going to be. I read it in English and was sure she was wasting her time because I thought no person in the world would be interested in something like this. Eventually my mom didn’t finish the translation because she couldn’t negotiate with the publisher, but a couple of years later it was oficially released by the name of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”. Well, I was a little wrong. Source: vk.com/pn6
