    Oh, I thought there is no Ukrainian Orthodox Church outside Ukraine. Blessed to hear it! Though I myself don't visit and attend it.

    Oh, so you're from China?

    What about the quote. As I understood, there it is in Russian:

    "Отцы и учители, мыслю: «Что есть ад?» Рассуждаю так: «Страдание о том, что нельзя уже более любить»."

    I think, that your second quote:

    "What is hell?" And I answer thus: "The suffering of being no longer able to love."

    Is the most accurate, both in syntax and semantic, it's literal translation that preserves words structure.
    Although I agree with you, it's painful to read in translation. There's almost 99% chance that translator might cut something off or just be unable to translate specific and individual language of author.
    Thank your for working with Chinese example, it was interesting!

    I'd say yes, starting from 2022 (full-scale War) this situation have been getting even worse. Though before the War we've studied Russian literature and language as separate subject. But for now indeed many Ukrainians have bad attitude about so to speak "Russian culture".

    What about my feelings... I myself find Russian (classic) literature very deep and philosophical, it's very close to my heart. Maybe, it's closer than Ukrainian (classic) literature for me.

    And about Ukrainians. As I said before, not long ago in schools there was Russian language/literature class, and as I saw not all had bad meaning about that. Though not all had truly read it, much of people just skipped lectures and have been cheating on exams (but it can be said about almost every class). By now, most of them just hate it.

    I appreciate you for your answer! Thanks!

    My native language is Russian (Ukrainian also). And I can almost confirm it, but many of my acquaintances also say that Dostoyevsky is boring and long. I'd say that it's issue of subjectivity and individual. But of course you can't merely translate Dostoevsky's spirit that reveal itself in Russian. You can't merely translate any other deep and great author also (like Shakespeare or Goethe).

    About closeness of Ukrainian I can't say, I read only Ukrainian authors in Ukrainian, but I think that he's close enough.

    Sorry if I said something wrong or misspelled, I haven't practiced English earlier.

    Thank you for your answer! Also, Strugatsky brothers has many similar novels, short and great. My most appreciated was "The Final Circle of Paradise" and "Space Mowgli".

    I've been listening to DSBM for a long time. Can't just give it up. Bands like "Leaden" or "Angest Herre". It immerse me in some sort of trance. Weird feeling.
