Today I will have a look through my chapter and come up with a list of Russian words. My task is similar to what a sports commentator faces when they get a team whose names are in another language. Interesting that last month in the LibriVox statistics there was a big increase, for some reason, in Russian people listening to LibriVox recordings on YouTube. This book could get a bit of listening!

Here is Section 17 - sorry to take so long! Thank you for the pronunciation help, although I'm not sure how well I did with things.

Hello

I uploaded Chapter 7 again after correcting the bit rate and volume,. Actually did it twice as the first attempt had a problem. Checker is a cool tool. Thanks for that tip.

I apologize, Jonathan. I was pretty sure I mentioned these, but cannot find ... must be my senior moment

- The head post says: Leave 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning. There are 2 sec.
- The head post says: Leave 5 seconds of silence at the end. There are 6.5 sec
All else is good! Sorry you would have to get back to this

I notice that for my chapter 14, Berkman uses numbered sub sections such as 1, 2...
Should I read these numbers out?

I have read through the chapter. [not started recording yet] I have also got the bigger picture of the whole book such as Berkman's anarchist activities and his relationship with Emma Goldman. I feel that I know what the book is about now on a complex level and this helps me to read better! He wrote many other things that could be future projects.

Here are the Russian words [ a lot of them!] that I would like help to pronounce better:

Tchicherin
Tovarishtchi
etchen rad
Tcheka
plenbezh
nagan
predsedatel
razstreliat
Sabotazhniki
teplushka
enquetes
Nitchevo ne podelayesh
golubtchik, nitchevo ne podelayesh
Ossobiy Otdel
razsvyorstka
muzhik
tchinovniki
pomeshtchiki
golubtchik
Dezhurney
boyevaia

Thank you, if you could please record them or help in some other way.

Hi,

I'd like to claim a chapter 29, "Kiev".

Many thanks,

Matt

Hello
Made the requested changes. 1 second of silence at beginning and 5 at end. Hope it's ok now.
