Re: Russian Study Group
I am a Ukrainian 4th-year student from LCC International University in Lithuania, who majors in Psychology. I am conducting a research experiment as a part of my fourth-year thesis process. The purpose of my study is to determine whether speakers of different languages perceive colors differently, particularly the speakers of English and Russian languages. I am also investigating if color discrimination abilities might improve after new language acquisition, for example, Russian. To make the second part of an experiment possible, I need to recruit 30 native English speakers who have nearly fluently learned Russian (levels B2 and higher). I am reaching out to you with the hope that you could help me to find people, who would be interested in taking part in a short 10-minutes experiment. I would appreciate it greatly if you could share this message with English-speaking people who have learned or know Russian in your organizations/university, or who major in Russian language and culture studies. You can find the link to the experiment embedded in a short survey below. Thank you in advance for your input. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me – akendys19@students.lcc.lt, or my thesis adviser Jennifer Schneider - jschneider@lcc.lt.

At the recent UFC London event the Russian-English interpreter seems to have been having a bad day

илон маск мог бы подкупить всех, кто нужен, чтобы организовать табакерку. но он купил твиттер
I can't make sense of it beyond its literal meaning. Can someone explain what she meant?

Табакерка ("snuffbox") is a shorthand for a palace coup, in reference to the assassination of emperor Paul I by a group of Imperial Guard officers. One of them supposedly knocked the emperor out by hitting him on the temple with a snuffbox, and since the official cause of death was recorded as "apoplectic stroke" it's been joked that Paul I died "of an apoplectic stroke with a snuffbox to the temple" ("от апоплексического удара табакеркой в висок"). Lately snuffbox memes have become popular among embittered Russian dissidents as an expression of the desire to see Putin removed from power as soon as possible and/or disillusionment in all other possible methods of removing him.

You're not a C1 (or B1 or whatever) if you haven't tested.
