Drat, thwarted so close to freedom's sweet caress…

Drat, thwarted so close to freedom’s sweet caress…  I dreamed for but a taste of the decadent west, and now my eulogy is sung by guard dogs and alarm bells.

@Fionbio"КГ/АМ."Thats pretty rude... You should just lighten up and enjoy the site. If you don't like it, go somewhere else.

As a fluent speaker in the Mother Tongue, I hereby certify that the translations are fake but accurate. Just ask Dan Rather.These wild and crazy cats must have escaped from the underground bunker of the Karl Marx Treatment Center at the People's Cube where they were being used to conduct experiments in subliminal messaging and lobotomy.

This entire website makes me too happy. These re-captions are the latest and most ingenious iteration of lolcats, in that they aren't completely retarded. I'm currently using this site as a way to weed out my "friends" by seeing who does or doesn't understand the plight of our feline brethren. I've uncovered new enemies and have since formed unlikely alliances. Just remember, all cats are grey at night...

OMG Ponies! I just realized that the English translations are not really what the Russianese says! I am so disillusioned. It appears as if this is a humor site. I never in my life would have imagined that there would be humor on the Interweb.

This is a good website, although I agree with people who say that jokes get more and more boring as you go through them. One way to avoid it - don't look through hundreds of them at once! When I first saw this website I though "WTF, they're retarded!" But after reading a few comments it all became clear :)Great site, something different is always good! Keep it up!For those of you who want proper/direct translations, see my name.:)

COMRADE ANNA SAYS:"As cute as some of these “translations” are, how long can a mind, even an American mind, stay amused at what’s essentially one joke told over and over ad infinitum?"ROLCATS are the opiate of the masses. Weak American minds will remain amused as long as Soviet, er... Russian nails are the biggest in the world!

Yup, I agree with Anna. I like both of the captions together. I think if you can read and speak Russian you'll find it twice as funny ^^

Забавный сайт :-) Но судя по тому, что меня сюда направила знакомая американка с вопросом - "А перевод правильный?", то видимо не все догоняют. А вообще, прикольно :-) и действительно, приведет только к тому, что те, кто и раньше юмор понимали поржут над стереотипами, а те, кто, считают, что в России медведи живут и водка повсюду... ну что ж, бог с ними :-)

fionbio: Да, дебилов везде хватает, спору нет, но ведь из комментов видно что 90% понимает что это насмешка над определенным стилем отображения СССР а не над самим СССР. Как например, ну, не знаю, иностранец Карбофос из "Следствие ведут колобки" не был никаким определленным западником а насмешкой на советскими образами злого капиталиста.

Anna: возможно, что и так, не исключаю, может, я и не прав. Но более чем уверен, что многие прочитавшие подумают, что в России и правда дурацкие шутки про котов выдержаны в подобном стиле, и что у нас тут медведи не только по улицам ходят, но и в добавок у маленьких детей водку отбирают. Хотя может и фиг с ними :)

So close bee. I sit in an office all day, am 24, get 2 weeks of vacation a year, receive an adequate health care plan and make more than 50k a year. So you were like... 50% right or so.I did enjoy these, but I agree it would be kind of cool to see the real translations as well. Could one of you people who have bashed the site please start your own and translate them literally?

The West's triumphalism over communism is only meant to conceal the conditions of the present. How many of you Americans over 25 sit in offices all day (and take vacation 2 weeks a year) so that you can have some miserable health care plan and earn less than 50k a year?

The Russian is much funnier. Stop trying to use lame stereotypes and pathetic attempts at historical references as something humorous. You should have just found a real translator. The Russians know what's up!
