[COMPLETE] Rasputin and the Russian Revolution by Catherine Radziwill - dc

[tac107]

Tatiana - I am so consistently impressed at how well you pronounce all the names in this piece. But perhaps Russian is your native language? Your English is spoken with no accent... Not really important - just curious.

A few notes regarding section 2:
--At 1:29
Dropped “once” from “once again”
--At 26:43
Dropped “led” from “led by the Imperial Court”
--At 28:59
Pause a bit too long at the comma in the sentence at: “…above him, and that they…”
--At 31:57
Inserted “the constant” instead of the word “his” in “thanks to his support and influence”

Chapter 4 -

Very well read - just one note:

At 0:57
Mme. Should be said “Madame”. “Mademoiselle” would have been written Mlle.

This is reuploaded as well. Leaving section 3 alone for now until I can conclusively figure out what's making that noise in the background.

Another good job! Just two notes:

--at 4:00
Written: “and invented on their side”
Spoken “and invited on their side

--at 16:27
Written: “plunge into his stomach a large kitchen knife”
Spoken: “plunge into his stomach a large hidden knife”

I uploaded section 6 and the fixed section 5 as well.

I uploaded section 6 and the fixed section 5 as well.

I'll check section 6 later today. But the section 5 you uploaded still has the same issues as noted before. My guess is that you inadvertently uploaded the older file.

I tried uploading it again. I did listen beforehand and that one definitely has the edits so hopefully that fixes it.

This new upload does have the invited/invented edit. That's fine. But it still has "hidden knife" instead of "kitchen knife".

Sorry I have not gotten to PLing section 6 yet. I will try to do that today.

PL Ok on section 6 Tatiana. Good job!

Cross my heart and hope to die I solemnly swear that my reupload of chapter 5 has the word "kitchen knife" in it this time

[tac107]

Also 7 is uploaded.

YAY!! PL okay - perfect!

Also 7 is uploaded.

Section 7 is mostly fine. Just this one note:

--26:30
--written: “…he had been persuaded, or rather compelled, to take. Manassevitsch-Maniuloff had managed to get hold of him and to keep him securely bound to his own policy.”
End of sentence after “to take” missed. So, it sounds as if he took Mr. Manassevitsch-Maniuloff. Not that Mr. Manassevitsch-Maniuloff had managed to get hold of him, etc.
