How to enter Russian text???

[JewishCowboy]

Privet,

I had a friend translate some things for me into Russian. And when I tried to cut and paste Russian characters into this message board it looked fine, but then the preview key turned everything into garbage characters.

Can you please explain how to enter Russian text, and can you tell me if most Ukranian girls can read English?

I am sorry that I don't know Ukranian and my Russian friend doesn't know Ukranian either.

Spasibo tebya,

Cowboy

Famine grips Russia Million dying, idle on rise, says Briton
Asserts Reds Arrest British to Check Public Wrath
Peasants "Wait for Death"

Berlin, March. 29th, -Russia today is in the grip of a famine which is proving as disasterous as 1921 when millions died, reported Gareth Jones, Foreign Affairs secretary to former Prime Minister David LLoyd George of Great Britain, who arrived in Berlin this morning en route to London aftera long walking tour through Ukraine and other districts in the Soviet Union.
Mr Jones, who speaks Russian fluently, is the first foreigner to visit the Russian countryside since the Moscow authorities forbade foreign correspondents to leave the city. His report, which he will deliver to the Royal Institute of International affairs tomorrow, explains the reason for this prohobition. Famine on a colossal scale, impending death of millions from hunger, mass terror ant the beginnings of serious unemployment IN A LAND THAT HAD HITHERTO PRIDED ITSELF ON THE FACT THAT EVERY MAN HAD A JOB -this is the summary of Mr. Jone's first-hand observation.
He told EVENING POST: The aresst of the British engineers in Moscow is a symbol of panic in consequences of conditions worse than in 1921. Millions are dying of hunger. The trial, beginning Saturday, of the British engineers is merely a pendant to the recent shooting of thirty-five prominent workers in agriculture including the Vice-Commissar of the Ministry for Agriculture, and is an attempt to sheck the popular wrath at the famine which haunts every district of the Soviet Union.
"Everywhere was the cry,'There is no bread. We are dying. The cry came from every part of Russia, from the Volga, Siberia, White Russia, the North Caucasus, Central Asia. I trampled through the black earth regions because that was once the richest farmland in Russia and because the correspondents had been forbidden to find out for themselves what was hapenning.
"In the train a Communist denied to me that there was famine. I flung a crust of bread which I had been eating from my own supply into a spittoon. A peasant fellow-passenger fished it out and ravenously ate it. I threw an orange peel into the spitton and the peasant again grabbed it and devoured it. The Communist subsided. I stayed overnight in a village where there used to be 200 oxen and there were now six. The peasants were eating the cattle fodder and had only a month's supply left. They told me that many had alreadt died of hunger. Two soldiers came to arrest a thief. They warned me against travelling at night as there were too mant 'starving' desperate men.
"We are waiting for death" was my welcome, "but see, we still have our cattle fodder. Go further south. There they have nothing. Many houses are empty of people already dead" they cried.
"A foreign expert from Kazakhstan told me 1,000,000 out of 5,000,000 there had died of hunger. I can believe it. After Stalin, the most hated man in Russia is Bernard Shaw among those who who read his glowing descriptions of plentiful food in their starving land. "The future is blacker than the present. There is insufficient seed.Many peasants are too weak physically to work on the land.The new taxation policy, promising to to take only a fixed amount of grain from the peasants, will fail to encourage production because the peasants refuse to trust the Goverment."
In short, Mr Jones concluded, the collectivization policy of the government and the resistance of the peasants to it had brought Russia to the worst catastrophe since the famine of 1921 and have swept away the population of whole districts.
Coupled with this, the prime reason for the breakdown, he added, is the terror, the lack of skill and collapse of transport and finance. Unemployment is rapidly increasing, he declared, because of the lack of raw materials. The lack of food and the wrecking of the currency and credit system have forced many of the factories to close or to dismiss workers.
The Jones repor, because of his position, because of his reputation for reliability and impartiality and because he is the only first hand observer who has visited the Russian countryside since it was officialy closed to foreigners, is bound to recieve widespread attention in official England as well as among yhr public of the country.

Official statistics of the Communist Pary of Ukraine during the holocaust part 1 in Ukraine and other parts of C.C.C.P.
Jewish 80%

Others 5%.
Has anyone ever heard of a Ukrainian member of The Communist Party of Ukraine in the 1930's?

Dear Kathy,

Thank you for your response and kind suggestions. I apologize for not responding sooner, but I wasn't aware that anyone had replied to my posting other than the bizarre tangential yammering we've witnessed.

It is strange because I can copy the Russian text into the "Your Reply" section, but when I press the "Preview Reply" button, the Russian text is corrupted. So it's not anything about having Cyrillic fonts installed; I do have these fonts because I can read emails from my Russian friends and even type in Russian and the characters are fine. I think it's some setting on this discussion board. Hopefully, the administrator will answer when she returns from vacation.

Also, thank you for your helpful suggestions about finding a wife. In fact I am moving to Israel so I'll also look there. But I would like to find a girl in Ukraine. I don't really know how to do this, so I was hoping some girls might read the Personals on this discussion board. I'll follow your suggestions and let you know the outcome since you were kind enough to help.

Thanks again!

Kathy, you were right I kinda took some holiday time . Sorry Jewish cowboy.
Here is the deal, this forum is to be used to post in English so I am not going to explain how to post in Cyrillic. Many people who are active members of this forum do not understand any russian, so it would be unfair to allow for posting in languages other members don't understand... hope this makes sence and sorry that I am not very helpful.
