Jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny is dead, the prison service of the Yamalo-Nenets region where he had been serving his sentence said on Friday.
I use the Cyrillic spellings to better reflect pronunciation. I don’t give a fuck about Russian’s totally fucking insane grammar. I know Russian grammar. Only too well.
The first two are actually right. Both are nominative singular.
Only “Путин’s fate” is wrong. If I were to respect Russian grammar, but again, why?, it would be “fate Путина”.
Nobody else knows or cares how Cyrillic is pronounced versus the language the rest of everything written is. You’re just confusing people, especially if you don’t care about proper grammar to match your capricious language hopping.
I appreciate your saying that, and your desire to be respectful of people’s names. You had good intentions. I hope you have a great day.
Edit: Why are all you jerks downvoting the dude for saying sorry? Do you want to discourage people from apologizing? Because that’s how you discourage people from apologizing.
It is not respect for the language. It is the minimum amount of respect every person gets when addressed by their true name. Even Путин deserves to be called by his true name. Though that is really all he deserves.

That’s a funny clip but let’s be kind to each other. They were trying to be thoughtful in their own, admittedly unique, way
I wished to call out arrogant behavior in a fun way, but I may have been needlessly hurtful. I have edited my reply.
Were you confused by what I had typed?
Yeah, so much so that I had to tell you about it in that last comment I wrote.
Yes, I see. I’m sorry. I really thought it would be pretty clear what each Cyrillic name meant, even to people who had never read Cyrillic before.
Looks like gobbledygook to me.

I certainly was, it’s like you [redacted] didn’t want us to [redacted] but instead [redacted] you were saying about [redacted]. Get it?
Why respect the spelling and pronunciation but not the grammar? Seems kinda arbitrary.
