Found this magazine in Cyrillic. A translation would be appreciated

Pro tip: if a publication after 1989/91 had Stalin on cover and word "secrets" anywhere, it's dogshit.

"SSSR Secrets. Mysteries(?) of Soviet History. Agitators of Stalin. Who created the Kremlin propaganda machine? Ghost train from the past.(?)" Not sure about the last bit... "The first smart home SFINX/SPHINX." ?

Dunno. I'm Slavic and read Cyrillic, but my language is pretty different from Russian. I tried my best.

You're pretty much spot on.

I don’t speak Russian, but here’s a machine translation for ya.

I can read this alphabet with some difficulty, but I enough of the words are pronounced the same as they are in English “sex” is one example.

Gonna start calling it cekc from now on

Their alphabet also has letters that look like regular letters to an English speaker but are different sounds in Russian. A great example I use is the word HOMOPHOBE. In English we see the word Ho-mo-fōb, in Russian they read it as No-mor-no-vye. It’s not a word in Russian but that’s how they would read it. That’s part of why Russian is confusing

It would be less confusing if you knew the Greek letters. P is pronounced R and B is pronounced V in Greek.

Never learned Greek, I feared it would make me an Army alphabet guy

I'm interested in learning the language, but mostly the archaic dialects. The script though is easy and the parent of Latin and Cyrillic scripts.

Stalin's agitators

Who made the Kremlin's propaganda machine?

Ghost train from the past

  1. First smart home is the Sphinx

I’m glad I was able to understand most of it, but I was scratching my head at the ghost train from the past part, I was thinking I must have translated it wrong because it’s such a weird sentence

I know 3 words in Russian and how to read cyrillic, was enough for me to unhype 😔

да - нет - привет, not really words but I didn't put any effort into learning it, I just read "Stalin Agitator" and unhyped

[–] ivy@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 years ago

It's a magazine about conspiracy theories and "mysteries". Nothing serious actually
