Last summer I studied in three cities in Russia, Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Nizhiy Novogorod. I had a blast, however I earned a certificate for my time there and its written in Russian. I dont speak (or read) Russian, so I was hoping someone could help me out. Huge thanks in advance!

It says that you took part in a summer business school in 2006 in Nizhny Novgorod, May 29 - June 1, 34 hours in total, in an university with a name given in a form of a weird sounding abbreviation (which is in fact the Architectural University, or "строилка" as we call it).
Hello from Nizhny Novgorod!
Cool thanks for the translation. Now when someone asks me what it says I can actually tell them rather than just saying, "I got it from studying in Russia."
I look foward to visiting Russia again!
You spent all this time in Russia and you can't even read Russian? :lol:
You see, Vinnie, it frequently happens here when people spend six years in MSU (МГУ) or Academy of medicine and get the degree and even then they do not know the subject at all. :lol:
When I've seen the professor's surname I thought the certificate is a fake. It's like the names they give to Russian "generals" or "drug lords" in B-movies: Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Gogol. LOL
But I did find some traces of this guy in the Web. He exists. :)
Now that you mention it, Гоголль is very лолль! :lol: :lol:Quote:

Also, Gogoll wasn't a Russian name. I started my studies in Cologne, Germany (UASC or CUAS) and he was a professor there. We visited Russia spending some time at this school in Nizhiy Novgorod and touring Moscow and Saint Petersburg (one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen).
The course in Nizhiy Novgorod was taught in English and German since a majority of the students were either German or American. Some of the Russian students spoke English or German and translated for those who knew neigher.
The Russians find the name Gogoll' amusing, as it's the name of a very famous Ukrainian writer of Russian literature, Nikolai Gogol' (with one L).Quote:

That's why the names they give to Russian spies in movies (and thus the name in your certificare) were hilarious.
PS.
General Anatol Gogol - "The Spy Who Loved Me" (1977);
General Leonid Pushkin - "The Living Daylights" (1987)
etc. :lol:

There is a second-hand thriller "Pterodactyl", where characters have names Heinlein, Bradbury, Lem, Zelazny, and Burroughs. :lol:
Very educational. A good movie for youngsters. ))Quote:

The Czechs dislike the Russians since 1968. They made this game. Although I played OFP where the sides were changed and you played for the Soviets against NATO. Needless to say that I liked this version more :mrgreen:Quote:

That version was horrible! You know why? Because you switch sides and join the resistance and help NATO fight the Russians!!Quote:

At any Rate, I played all 3 episodes of OFP plus just about every add on, still my fav game of all time.
And yes... I'm always Russian.
No, this was a mod of 'OFP:Resistance'. In that version NATO invaded and the Soviets helped the locals to fight it over. No switching sides there. The only 'thin' moment is when you need to trade captured US tanks for Russian T72s. I wonder where the locals did find them :) And what were they going to do with an Abrams :)Quote:

You must have a different version than me then... Because in the campaign I have... You start out on the Russian side, then you are supposed to assassinate some Rebel leader and he tells you about how General Guba is not taking orders from the Kremlin and wants to detonate the nuke over the islands, so you switch sides and fight with resistance...
Not to be confused with OFP Resistance, where you are Viktor Trotska and you play as resistance the whole time... and then get shot by 15 tanks at the end.
BUT HEY?? You made Mafia missions too???
OMG Me and Pravit and V used to make custom missions all the time!!!
We even had Mafia wars! With BMWs and handguns! :))
WOW u shoulda played with us. We always had cool missions with Russian music playing, jumping out of helecopters and sliding down mountains.
One time I even started making a Revolution 1917 Mod where you must save Lenin from the whites and escort him to Ploshad Revolutsii... But I never finished it. Me and pravit used to play with custom Putin Faces as well (well he used a micheal jackson face most of the time). We even had one where we were Russian frontiersmen and we fought off the savages in turkestan :) We had horses and old bolt action rifles, it was great.
Wow... those were the days... I miss them so.
But we just stopped playing suddenly sometime in 2006 after like 5 years. Probably because I joined the military. Too bad its not as good as the games.
is this an old game or something?Quote:
