I only know the alphabet and the basics as far as vocabulary is concerned. Though I'm glad I didn't make mistakes in my translation! |

Hi guys, I am russian, so if you need any translations or comments I can help. I read first page and I want to add what all postcards from that page are in old russian language which was modified in 1917 after the revolution, so what is why online translator would not translate it very well, because some letters does not exist in language no more |

My pleasure. It is actually really interesting to me too. So, corrections from first page of the topic. 1. Set of cards #1, card #3. Lesnichestvo - means forest preserve, so it is a picture of forest preserve near Yalta (name of the city) 2.Set #2, card #1: it is not Hort Lermontov, it is Grotto Lermontov, and Eolova Harp (it is a name of musical instrument which based on Greek mythology, I don't know how to spell the name right in English but Eol is a God of wind) and on this picture The Eolova Harp it is name of the building which you can spot on the top of the hill, right under the words card #2: this is exactly the one I was talking about, before the revolution language reform, letter "i" was in Russian language, it still exist in ukrainian though |
