I’ve been primarily reading in English because that’s the language that pretty much all theory is available in, but I’ve been having issues translating the ideas into my native language.

    A substantial portion of the intricate language and analysis of Lenin’s work is lost in any translation. Russian is an extraordinarily difficult language to translate and I find reading most of the Soviet or Eastern European theory in Russian has given me a deeper understanding of the theory then the English versions.

      I would absolutely love to learn Russian and it might be the easiest language to pick up since I already speak a slavic language.
