Really fascinating.
Translations from one language to another often has idiosyncrasies like that. It is not unusual at all. In fact, if I wanted to say "What's happening" in Russian, it would sound like "Cock dyla?" In German, the word for "thick" is Dick. All phonetically, that is.
.
Star Media has some very good movies, that I think surpass anything I have seen in the USA for a long time. "The Dawns are Quiet Here", "The Theif" AKA Bop, "The Hunt For The Gaulieter" . . . . They are all in Russian with English subtitles . . . . recommend you do one of two choices . . . . slow the video down, so you can keep up with the subtitles, or download (less advertisements) the series and watch it with VLC Player, using the "[" and "]" to change the speed to a slower speed.
Why is this not a film?
It is. See the link above
