Anyone speak/read Russian here?

Again, as long as this thread stays out of the minefield of politics, it will remain standing.  It's getting close to the edge right now, so let's not risk suspensions and deletions because people have strong feelings about something here.

You are free to debate international politics everywhere else on the Internet, keep it away from this place.

This is a fun, knuckleheaded guitar discussion forum.

There will be no further warnings.

Thank you.

I'm just trying to get my knuckleheaded mitts on another Cali LE. Nuthin' remotely political about that. :D

 
I'll add that thru dialogue with the kind gent who alerted me to this ax, who speaks Russian and has contacted the seller, it's apparent that the ONLY way I'm gonna get said mitts on that LE would be to go through a middle man or broker. Cha-ching!  Can you say "Expensive"?  I'm guessing another $300- $400 tacked on to the current cost of $1850 (at current exchange rate) just to have a middle man/broker handle it and to cover shipping.  :(

It's those very same May Day festivities that are holding up potential dealings :ph34r:

Well, the day does give one pause, doesn't it? Today is the day Russians commemorate the defeat of Nazi Germany. Of all the Nazi soldiers killed in the war, Russia's army killed over 80% of them. Victory came at an unbelievable cost -- 27 million Russians lost their lives.

27 million dead. It's just unfathomable. If your guitar purchase has to wait a day, well...

 
You misunderstand my emoji- I have no issue with any potential dealings being put aside for celebratory purposes. The emoji was about the secrecy of the transaction itself.   ;)
