Знакомые поляки отвернулись от меня весной, потому что я русская. Так обидно терять друзей из-за чего-то, над чем я власти никакой не имею. Простите, что пишу вам, так грустно стало, потому что хорошими друзьями в течение 5 лет были.

Таких друзей - за хуй да в музей.

an adorable russian movie with english subtitles

Девчата / Gals 1961

Devchata is a romantic comedy set in an isolated Russian logging camp, c. the late 1950s. A pig-tailed young girl - Tosya (Nadezhda Rumiantseva)- arrives from school with a cooking degree, and joins a group of other women who work in jobs supporting the loggers. She is naive but open hearted and kind. When Ilya starts flirting with her she takes it as a true romance only to discover that Ilya had a bet with his friends to seduce her. She stops talking with him but Ilya has already fallen in love with her.

A Few of My Favorite Russian Proverbs (with their literal translations)

Большой секрет — знает весь свет.    Big secret—the whole world knows.

Борода не делает философом.  A beard doesn’t make a philosopher.

В темноте все кошки серы.  All cats are gray in the dark.

В Ту́лу со свои́м самова́ром не е́здят. No one brings a samovar to Tula. (Tula is famous as the city where samovars were manufactured. This is the equivalent of “Don’t bring coal to Newcastle.”)

Волко́в боя́ться — в лес не ходи́ть. If you’re afraid of wolves, don’t go to the woods.

Говорить правду — потерять дружбу.  Tell the truth—lose friends.

Доверя́й, но проверя́й.  Trust, but verify.

Долг платежо́м кра́сен.  Debt is beautiful once it’s repaid.

Доно́счику — пе́рвый кнут. The informer is whipped first.

Друг познаётся в беде́.  You get to know your friend in trouble. (A friend in need is a friend indeed.)

Дру́жба дру́жбой, а де́нежкам счёт.  Friendship is friendship, but count money.

Знать всё — значит не знать ничего. To know everything is to know nothing.

И у стен бывают уши. And even walls have ears.

Когда́ де́ньги говоря́т, тогда́ пра́вда молчи́т.  When money talks, truth shuts up.

На чужо́м го́ре сча́стья не постро́ишь. One can’t build happiness upon another’s grief.

Назва́лся гру́здем — полеза́й в ку́зов. If you called yourself a mushroom—get in the basket. (Sort of like, “don’t just talk the talk—walk the walk.”)

Не ошиба́ется тот, кто ничего́ не де́лает. He that does nothing makes no mistakes.

#2 - Book 6 :  “Vampire hunter D: Pilgrimage of the Sacred and the Profane . This illustration is not for a specific chapter, but for a book in general.I very often see in a dream, or in the process of reading a book, different situations that occur with the characters of this work and any other characters of other works. 

Now I imagined how D in the Desert of Death (I have not read this book for a long time, I can be mistaken with the name of the desert) met Azazel, who somehow got from the Dudail desert in “there”.Of course, the Desert found the angel interesting, swallowed him, but he, of course, broke out of her “tenacious paws” (let’s not forget about his strength), and emerged from the abyss of sand right in front of D and his companions.

This illustration mixes the works of D vampire hunter and Demonslayer
