Having read three versions in English, I think that the Olena Bormashenko translation is the most 'natural' American English version to read.

My whole family is Russian and I can speak the language with ease, but I was born and grew up in Greece so my reading is quite sluggish. I read it a few years back to train my Russian but I'm pretty sure I have missed out on a few stuff, thus I want the English version to fill in the gaps as my English(text-wise) is far superior

Knowledge of contexts are not dependent on identity politics. Identy positionism is a meme. Wash your penis.

I doubt you know how different culture and life is in post-soviet countries,it has nothing to do with identity politics or any of that racism crap,it's just the way of living is much different compared to the democratic west
