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.

Действительно, автор блога молодец! Пишите еще!
Хорошая статья. Буду ждать продолжения. Данная тема конечно же интересна всем.
Я вот подумал, а где Вы материал взяли для этой статьи? Неужели из Вашей головы? :)
Я тоже врямя от времени такое вижу, но как-то ранее не придавал этому никакого значения.
Сорри за оффтоп, не подскажете, где мона такой же симпатичный шаблон для блога взять?
You sir, Win an Internet!
If you want to read a reader's feedback :) , I rate this post for four from five. Decent info, but I have to go to that damn msn to find the missed pieces. Thank you, anyway!
@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...
Hey, didn't that cat used to be on Star Trek? Here's his picture: http://www.megomuseum.com/startrek/images/balok.jpg
@NubletYo mama. <---- the brightest achievement in American humor. Enjoy.
Us people seem to be queuing for updates but there are shortages it appears.
Talk about dropping the ball. All that traffic this week and no updates.
When is the next post?
We <3 rolcats!!
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.:)
After "you punch like a a Georgian" literally changed my life, I check this site twice a day. Give us more rolcats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nays site, ah tsink yu shud giv som rashen transleyshan to tze sabs, Coase does not Evry soviet People anderstends IT.translated by google
Hans: You mean like "Let me out of this camp! I'm not even kosher!1"?
Those pictures are purest fun!If there were german lolcats, I bet there woud be something similar with Nazi-jokes very soon.
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!
Nyet, nyet to all the bourgeois naysayers!This site is not funny because it speaks truth to power.With evil American government doubling its share of GDP overnight, you decadent petit bourgeiosie will soon know the glory of Stakanovite enthusiasm in the glorious giant nail factory!ROLCATS of the world, unite! Dyslexics, untie!
What do you mean? This isn't dental floss?
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 :-)
Harold is the admin.
asdf: Not true. I like the two in combination.
its funny cause the russians always like the russian captions better and the americans like the phoney translations better
What I really want to know is what breed of cat that is, I need one for my collection.
If we can't laugh at the tragedy of life under the oppression of the old Eastern Bloc, what can we laugh at? This site is genius.
Я is 'ya' in Russian -- not 'R'. Demitri should be spelled Dmitri or Dmitry.But I guess that's part of the comedy.Shake it up!
Anna: Я просто погуглил запомнившуюся из статьи фразу, а на то что ниже по тексту - не смотрел.Fluent in Russian: if you mean me, I never said they're any better. I just first thought that "translations" suck by themselves, though perhaps I'm wrong here.
I question why people who believe the originals are oh so much funnier are even here.
fionbio: Статья ничего, но ответы по запросам - это 5. "ромовый дневник скачать Надо «ромовый дневник купить». Вдова и дети писателя не должна нуждаться в средствах для покупки уже ставшего традиционным в семье на ужин чистого эфира." - эх, помню помню...
@Dave: your day-to-day sounds like socialism to me! :)
fionbio: Пипец, ушла читать. =X-D
Anna: да, вероятно, погорячился, не вчитавшись. На близкую тему, но, вероятно, отечественного производства (раньше целый сайт был, потом, кажется, куда-то пропал): http://b.buhoy.ru/keys/%EC%E5%F2%F0%EE
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?
fionbio: Не знаю не знаю... мне тоже сначала не понравилось, но сдается мне что смеются не над СССР а над анти-советской пропагандой. Уж очень убористо написано. "My eulogy is sung by guard dogs and alarm bells" - прям шансон. :))
Here's the description of these translations that other Russian readers pissed off by silly stereotypes will understand: КГ/АМ.
bee: The Dilbert revolution, the necessity of which has been long talked about by Bolshevists,...coo-coo!
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!
The real translation is:Boxer [dog or human]: what should i do with this insomnia?(cat)they suggested i count till 10.. i tried... i get to 9 and jump up on my feetBut this is the only one I know. Can you translate the rest????
Wow. The best part about this site are the people who don't get it. Poor sods. Whole swaths of the internet must be entirely baffling to them.
I shit my diaper reading these things. Nice work!
