NOT FLATTERY AND NOT HYPOCRISY!

The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth!

For about a year and a half now, I have been translating my writings into English using an automatic translator, with mandatory editing of the translation, since it often translates either absurdly, incorrectly, or even absurdly, without understanding the nuances of the Russian language.

Why did I take on such a difficult task?

Just because I wanted to introduce English-speaking readers to my writings and, most interestingly, to hear their critical comments. Their way of thinking is more or less different from the Russian-speaking one!

Intuitively, I understood that the number of such people was several times higher than the Russian-speaking ones, and therefore a large readership would offer me more diverse critical comments.

I looked at the statistics today:

Nov 19, 2025 · In 2025, there were around 1.53 billion people worldwide who spoke English either natively or as a second language, slightly more than the 1.18 billion Mandarin Chinese speakers at

November 19, 2025 – In 2025, there were approximately 1.53 billion English-speaking people on Earth, both considering English as their native language and speaking it as a second language.

It turns out that English is the MOST “TALKATIVE” language on Earth, ahead of even Chinese “Mandarin”. Russian russians can be estimated to be 150 million in the world today, after the collapse of the USSR with its official Russian language, since many former Soviet republics, hating the oppression of the USSR, with the typical stupidity of RABID herd slaves, transferred hatred of the regime to EVERYTHING Russian, including the language, which is innocent of anything, just as the German language is not to blame for that the Nazis were talking about it, they simply removed the “HATEFUL” one from use and even partially banned its use!

So, there are ten times more English speakers than there are Russian speakers. And on my two portals with my bilingual publications, the difference between the number of Russian-speaking and English-speaking readers is, at best, 50% more English-speaking!

This means that my often not too easy-to-read opuses are read by Russian-speaking readers almost seven times more than English-speaking ones.

This means that their intelligence is seven times better developed!

And it is necessary to take into account also the “standard of living” of readers. Most English speakers probably live in much better living conditions than Russian speakers (if in Russia).

Nevertheless, they find the time and desire to CONSTANTLY read a certain Esprit. For which I am sincerely grateful to them and inform them that they also have the opportunity to be proud of their level of intelligence and reading!

Once upon a time in the USSR they boasted that our citizens were the most reading people in the world!

Well, it was probably one of the rarest “truths” about the citizens of the USSR.

A small caveat. I don’t consider myself a writer! But I still think that my Russian sounds a little more literary than mechanical translated English, and this, of course, is an important factor that significantly reduces the interest in my works from the truly literally educated English public.

Maybe you haven’t “tried it out” yet?

I conclude this statistical analysis with gratitude to the readers again!
