Hi!
Is there anybody who can quickly find if any of the mentioned above projects were complete, e.i. Ушкуйники, Lermontov, Prutkov?
I'm just curious.

Hi Hanna, Ушкуйники yes, others no. There is a project going on right now, just above your post.

There are a few active projects good to get one's feet wet

Here are Russian PL opportunities. Both authors died less than 50 years ago, therefore please check their work's PD status for your location!

Аграфена: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=81129 , ~ 3 часа.
Борис Зайцев, одна из последних крупных фигур Серебряного века. Повесть «Аграфена», которую сравнивали с «Жизнью человека» Л. Н. Андреева и в которой находили влияние прозы Фёдора Сологуба, считается его наиболее значительным дореволюционным произведением.

Лирика. Стихи об Италии. viewtopic.php?f=28&t=81018 , < 1 час.
Этот небольшой сборник стихов Сергея Шервинского заинтересовал меня нестандартными размерами, создающими трудности для прочтения.

Needless to say, I'd be more than happy to DPL your projects (Russian or English

), just ping me!
Thank you!

And another one:

Вехи. Сборник статей о русской интеллигенции (см. описание в проекте)
viewtopic.php?f=28&t=81088

I'm already making some readers wait a bit too long for PL, so I'll need to resist the temptation to take on additional duties for now.

I took a look at your PL list -- impressive! Are there languages you don't know???

I've always been fascinated with polyglots.
If you think you are overloaded, I could take over PLing the 2nd book of fairy tales -- just let me know!

Thank you, Mark! Let's just say you don't want to play Russian roulette with me: I'm not overloaded, but I'm fully loaded.

PLing the fairy tales is a particular highlight for me.

I'm flattered that my odd predilection for memorizing word lists is a source of fascination.
