What does it say?

[unintended-muse.livejournal.com]

ooh. so ashamed.
whatever.

It's trying to say "Happy new year," which is in Russian С Новым Годом, but it misinterpreted the letter ы as two letters, ь and i, and put them on separate lines. Also, the final ending on the last word is not -ом as it should be, but something else that I can't quite read, but which is certainly only one letter, and therefore wrong. So what we have instead of

С новым годом

is

С новьiм год-something

Ooh, I noticed something was off, but I couldn't place what. (I'm still not too great at reading Cyrillic without a guide or something.)

[3libras.livejournal.com]

...Teapots? Is that a colloquialism, or am I misinterpreting?

[frz-blya.livejournal.com]

yeah, its colloquialism.
чайник = incompetent user, newbie.

[frz-blya.livejournal.com]

... or man who do his job badly.

[3libras.livejournal.com]

Ah, interesting. Thank you, I've learned something new.

[svyatogor.livejournal.com]

це що, український? :D

(is it ukrainian?)

[smorodina.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's not very clear, but it says сновым годм with the ы split.

[vedma.livejournal.com]

hehe i have just got home and uploaded my pictures, and i thought maybe that was ukranian spelling :)

have you got any more pictures? my ones did not come out very well.

[melien.livejournal.com]

:) Where was it?

[wolk-off.livejournal.com]

In Russian translation, the famous "...For Dummies" book series ("Internet For Dummies," "Rocket Science For Dummies" etc.) is exactly "...для чайников" ("Интернет для чайников", "Ядерная физика для чайников" etc.) -- note that when most English speakers say "rocket science," meaning something Too Smart For Us Simple People, Russian speakers more likely say "ядерная физика" (Nuclear physics) or "высшая математика" (high math.)

[wolk-off.livejournal.com]

London Town, I guess.

[melien.livejournal.com]

Не, читать-то я умею. :) Интересно, где именно. И зачем по-русски тоже интересно.

[wolk-off.livejournal.com]

1. I would love to remind that the working language of this community is English.
2. There was something called "Russian Winter on Trafalgar Square (http://www.russianwinter.rian.ru/news.html?nws_id=335755) lately.

[smorodina.livejournal.com]

Yes, I took loads. Some are a bit dark, but I'm going to upload some to my site soon...

[melien.livejournal.com]

[smorodina.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's the one. Trafalgar Square (you should recognise Nelson's Column) on Saturday 14th January. DDT, Ivan Kupala, Zolotoe Koltso, Yarmarka and others played. A splendid time was had by all!

Zolotoe Koltso in London:

Even more probably they'll say Сопромат.
As in "Сопромат для чайников".
That's the harshest course most people have to take at technical university in Russia.
