I need help translating the text from a Russian poster. For one, it's way above my level of Russian language experience, and that is more intimidating than you know. For another, it has these funny letters that I don't think are part of the alphabet anymore ('yat' mean anything to anyone? I used a '+' to signify where they go, because I don't have that character on my keyboard). I've got the first few parts, but I'm getting more and more confused as I go along. If someone could help out a little, that would be awesome.

Also, by virtue of the poster's age and the font that was used during its printing, I couldn't tell the difference between the hard and soft signs. So I just kinda guessed. I'll try to get a photocopy of the poster up here some time, just because it actually looks pretty cool. But for now, this is all I got.

I don't think that воскресенье is spelled with ъ.

[shtirliz.livejournal.com]

воскресенье is spelled with ъ in old russion style.
If you need a todey's russion speek style - check it:

some correction:

- (год)
- журнал
- воскресенье
- немецким
- главной конторе
- немечествомъ - use немецким народом
- первейшей - главной
- воскресенье
- съ неметчествомъ - use с немцами
- возрождения

That's all.

::воскресенье is spelled with ъ in old russion style.
Could you give me a link to a dictionary that says so?

[oryx_and_crake]

P.S. In all Old Church Slavonic texts I have, it is spelled воскресенiе, and there is no ъ in it.

[shtirliz.livejournal.com]

In old style - True: Воскресенiе
You're right.

Thank you! I appreciate it! :)

it's подписка (subscription), not подниска.

"Ять" was replaced by е in the new orthography system, trailing "ер" (ъ) should be just ignored.

широкiя = широкие
широкаго = широкого
возрожденiя (there is no space in it) = возрождения

"подниска" was driving me crazy, because I couldn't figure out what it meant. And for good reason, apparently! Thank you! :)

Wow. I was completely off on a lot of those things. This makes a lot more sense! Thank you!

Check out This entry (http://www.livejournal.com/community/learn_russian/85859.html) for help on getting those letters to appear in html. This helped me greatly for one of my web pages...

Nifty! Thank you! :)
