Can anyone find me the russian recipe for Perryski?
Q. Hi there. I am searching for a russian recipe i think you call it Perryski (pronounced-Petty-scare). My Grandma use to make it all the time at family gatherings, now she has passed and I cant find the recipe. It is a dough or pastry type of food and you can fill them with meat(i think it was sausage meat) or potato. They are very nice (one you have one, you cant stop) I am also after a pickled cucumber recipe. Im not sure if this was russian or not so any will do. Thanks in advance!

A. Pirohy (50) 2 cup flour 8 tablespoons cold water 2 egg 1/2 teaspoon salt Brown melted butter and pour over pirohy when served. Mix all ingredients with enough water to make medium soft dough. Knead well and then roll out until thin. Cut in squares to make 50 pirohy. Place on each square 2 teaspoon of a filling. Fold in half to make triangles. Pinch edges well with thumb to keep filling from escaping. Drop in salted water and cook until all the pirohy rises to the top of the water. Then cook for 5 minutes longer. When done, pour a small amount of cold water and strain. Place in serving dish and pour over butter that has been melted and slightly browned. Eat while hot, and if desired, add more salt. Pirohy may be spread carefully… [cont.]

How do you translate the Russian Cyrillic alphabet into the Latin alphabet?
Q. Babelfish can translate from Russian to English, but not from Cyrillic alphabet to Latin alphabet. How do you do this, and is there some sort of translator-site which does this?
Asked by Knight of Truth - Thu Jul 16 17:11:57 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Yes, you can use or to perform transliterations to and from Cyrillic. I highly recommend, however, that you spend an hour some time learning the basic Cyrillic alphabet and the associated sounds and pronunciation rules, because there is no solid standard for transliteration, and people usually tend to just write out the sounds as they are used to hearing them, rather than as they are supposed to be read.

A. Starting with the peasants. The peasants under the Tsarist regime were tenant farmers with the village council, or Mir, periodically re-allocating the land according to each villager's needs. The peasants wanted to own the land on which they worked. After the October Revolution they were granted their wishes and the landlords either fled or were arrested, some were lynched by their tenants. During the civil war period the peasants were treated very harshly; the policy of War Communism was a policy of state theft. Armed Bolsheviks went into the countryside to take any surplus grain they could find and troikas (tribunals of three Bolsheviks) set up to deal with those who hid their grain. Under the next policy, the New Economic Policy,… [cont.]

  • A Frenchman is self-assured because he regards himself personally, both in mind and body, as irresistibly attractive to men and women. An Englishman is self-assured, as being a citizen of the best-organized state in the world, and therefore as an Englishman always knows what he should do and knows that all he does as an Englishman is undoubtedly correct. An Italian is self-assured because he is excitable and easily forgets himself and other people. A Russian is self-assured just because he knows nothing and does not want to know anything, since he does not believe that anything can be known. The German's self-assurance is worst of all, stronger and more repulsive than any other, because he imagines that he knows the truth--science--which he himself has invented but which is for him the absolute truth.
