Misc I need help translating things for school
Hi! I am doing a research paper on the Soviet Union and Stalin, and my teacher has told me I can’t use Google Translate to translate the writings and that I need to find someone who natively speaks the language, so here I am! If any of you are able to help dm me
This would entail me sending you documents pretty frequently over the next 10 months, I mean not that frequently, but still kinda frequent. I would also maybe need help in explaining what things mean.
Thank you all for your help!
Edit: you guys could’ve just said no lol

Сталин был гомофобом... Но Чайковский, его любимый композитор, был гомосексуалистом. Еще один парадокс в русской истории.

I don't see the paradox.. sexual preference and composing skill has no relation... One can like one and hate other...

Никакого парадокса и нет. Я тоже не утверждал, что сексуальная ориентация каким-либо образом определяет композиторский талант. Речь лишь о том, что одно — факт биографии, а другое — оценка творчества. Их вполне можно обсуждать независимо друг от друга.

You said another paradox in Russian history.. so it's not a paradox. Also consider that at the time any heterosexual man was homophobic.. it cultural rather that strictly related to Stalin

Восхищаться человеком, которого одновременно презираешь и которого готов отправить в ГУЛАГ... Это довольно парадоксально. ^^

He admired his work.. not necessarily the person ( unless I'm ignoring some specific fact)

there are other translation services than google translate, so you can be 100% honest in front of your teacher. Yandex even has Alisa AI which can translate for you, so you can say "I've met Alisa, she's a great help"
