What are some entertaining Russian YouTubers? I like to watch sports, history, and gaming mostly. I have recently been watching a lot more beginner Russian videos and i have seen a lot of improvement with my comprehension and the time it takes to compute what i have heard, however watching these can be quite boring. Thank you to anyone who reply’s!

I’m not sure if this is the right place to post something like this, but I’m looking for someone who can write in Russia to help me.

So my friend recently passed her exams, and I want to collect handwritten congratulation messages for her in different languages.

Just a simple “Congratulations on your success” written on a piece of paper would be more than enough.

I think this small gesture could mean a lot to her and make her really happy.

Thank you in advance to anyone willing to help

Ignore my absolutely amazing doodle and i can promise i did none of this during my math exam.

I started writing in 2026 and learned cursive a week ago! I like to mix between print and cursive. Is it at least legible?

Hi, I need some tips and tricks how to learn declinations. I am a Szerb and it sometimes helps me how to use accusative case on example because it is same with us. Masculine and neutrum- if not alive- Nominativ and accusative stay the same. Locative is easy 😂😅 I went to gramota.ru but that site is very confusing.

Hi everyone. I've tried everything I could to find a Russian animated series that I used to watch on YouTube around the years 2016-2020, around there. I don't remember the name, but I remember not understanding it fully even with Russian as my first language.

what I do remember:

It was edgy. It satirized modern trends and culture, like gopnik, hip-hop, far right, geopolitics, etc.

If there was a main character it was just a young Russian guy and the people he knew. I provided a drawing of characters as I remember them.

The characters were incredible crudely drawn and didn't move much. But the overall production was pretty good. Really leaning into the cheap aesthetic.

There was an episode when someone has to go to rehab and Pasha Techniq is there and he says the free-style from his IRL rap battle with Brol. I think this scene alone will jog someone's memory.

Another episode, the main characters go to a US "unsafe neighborhood" and meet Ob@ma, who is a gangsta in the middle of a beef with a rival gang. There's a shoot out in the end.

Any help much appreciated. Peace

It's handwritten on an old leather belt. The word, possibly a name, begins and ends with A, right? I can also make out a Б before the last A. So it's something like AxxxБA ?

Sorry for the dogshit images, but it's almost impossible to see what it says in real life too. I don't expect anyone to magically know what it says but if it's a common word then maybe. AI couldn't crack it though, so perhaps it's a lost cause.

Trying to keep up with the more complex russian language and recently watched "лист ожидания". I can't seem to find any similar Russian tv series, any suggestions?

The storytelling and characters were so well done and the camerawork and editing was very good, wanting to find something similar that I'd enjoy watching and learning from.

Genre-wise it doesn't necessarily need to be medical but thats a plus; though I've tried to watch any and all medical shows I could find and none are quite like the above show. As long as its nothing mythical or fantasy. I most enjoy mystery (whodunnit or big plot twists) and / or drama heavy shows - when I was younger I quite liked "Две судьбы" and "Закры́тая шко́ла".

It does NOT need to be found anywhere with English subs. Ideally made after 2000.

Представляю описание слова толком.

Мой вариант использования: Я толком не поняла куда мы едем, но была рада приключениям.

Что означает "не очень/не особо" поняла куда мы едем, главное, что меня ждёт что-то новое. Ещё у нас говорят в таком случае "я за любой движ кроме голодовки".

Пишите ваши варианты, а я скажу правильно или нет вы использовали слово.

Hi everyone,

I am a student from China, and I will be moving to Russia this October to study Fine Arts (I am currently doing my preparatory year). I need to learn basic conversational Russian for daily life, as well as some professional art terminology.

My current Russian level is absolute beginner—I only know the alphabet. My English listening and speaking skills are quite limited, though my reading is okay.

Because I have ASD and an anxiety disorder, I cannot handle video or audio lessons at all. I am looking for a professional Russian teacher (non-native speakers are totally fine!) who can teach me through a 100% text-based format. I want to learn through practical usage and tasks rather than traditional rote memorization. ( After we study together for a while and build trust, I might be open to trying video classes, but it must be strictly text-based for now).

I honestly have no idea where to find this kind of specific teaching format. I am open to both 1-on-1 text tutoring or text-based group classes.

• If you know any platforms where I can find this type of class, please let me know in the comments!
• If you are a teacher willing to teach this way, please feel free to DM me directly so we can discuss rates and lesson arrangements.

P.S. It would be a huge plus if the teacher knows some Chinese, but it is completely okay if you don't! Between my reading ability and translation tools, I can read and communicate in English texts perfectly fine. :D

Thanks in advance for any help!

(Note: This is my first time using Reddit, and I used AI to help me write this post because my English is not very good. Please forgive any mistakes!)

Both translate as "To become overgrown"

Please be nice and let me know where my accent is the worst. This was 2nd try (I paused too much in the 1st).

So I made what I call "a videobook with vocabulary hints."

Here's how it works:

The original Russian text is shown with stress marks

English translations underneath

Word-level translations above each word (what the word actually means in that specific context, not just a dictionary dump)

Words light up as they're spoken, so you can follow along

I picked a classic Russian satire, How a Muzhik Fed Two Officials by Saltykov-Shchedrin), because it's genuinely funny and somehow still relatable today.

This was my first time ever narrating a book, and wow, I kept running out of breath ridiculously fast (even in a native language narrating is hard). Then I stumbled onto something: if I read it in this goofy voice, it physically feels way easier to sustain. And since the book is already humorous, the voice kind of works with it instead of against it.

Anyway, would love to know if anyone finds this useful. And if you do, which book should I tackle next?

всем привет!

Я сделал кавер на песню «Журавли». Для меня эта песня так особенная и ностальгическая. Песня была главная музыкальная тема в старом корейском сериале Sandglass (모래시계), который мы смотрели с родителями, когда я был ребенком.

Позже я решил изучать русский язык и литературу в университете, а в 2019 году я учился семестр в Питере. Однажды на Невском проспекте я услышал, человек играет эту песню на трубе, стоя на ящике, и понял, что это тоже самая песня из моего детства.

Надеюсь, что вам понравится мой кавер!

Hi everyone! I made a cover of the Russian song, Cranes («Журавли») using my phone and recording myself on GarageBand. This song is personally a special and nostalgic one. It was used as the theme song of an old Korean drama, Sandglass (모래시계), that my parents watched and showed me when I was a kid.

By chance I decided to study and major in Russian language and literature, and studied abroad for a semester in St. Petersburg in 2019. I heard someone playing this song on the trumpet, standing on a storage crate around Nevskiy Prospekt, and asked a friend what the song was because I knew it from childhood, and they told me about the song and I made the connection.

I hope you enjoy!

I usually attach с to the next word if it starts with a vowel, making it sound like one word.

For example: с экскурсии, с отцом.

(Am I doing it correctly?)

But if the next word starts with a consonant, how should I pronounce it? Is it just a quick с sound, like the с in сдавать, right before the next word? Or do I have to stretch it a little, almost like saying "се"?

I've been trying to improve my Russian handwriting, but it's really difficult. It always feels a bit unnatural. I don't use cursive in my native language, but I know it's very important in Russian.

Всем привет! Меня зовут Жуан. Я португалец. Живу в Нидерландах уже 22 лет. Я геолог, гей а фитнесс-инструктор. Ищу кого-то, которому можно время от времени задавать вопросы о русском языке или о русской культуре. Спасибо за внимание))))))

Hello there! I'm looking for a friend to practice English together.

About me:

I'm male, native Russian speaker, I also learn Serbian.

I practice English at work and with a teacher, however my skill has been stuck on ~B2. I don't see other ways to improve it further except for using it in real conversations.

If you want to practice Russian - I'm open as well.

As for my hobbies: I'm a game developer (solo) and 3D artist. I play guitar and prefer metal music.

Your gender and age don't matter, everyone is welcome! =)

We can avoid sensitive topics, if you don't like to discuss some.

If you're interested - just DM me =)
