Russian to English: Excerpt from "Коммунальное Чтиво" by Lev Rubensthtein General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - Russian Коммуналка была так же непонятна инострану, как и, на пример, прописка. Иностранцы либо просто не верили в существование того и другого, либо чрезмерно то и другое демонизировали. Один американец в начале 70-х годов спрашивал, правда ли, что рабочих и интеллектуалов поселяют вместе для того, чтобы одни других образовывали, а другие одних воспитывали в духе коллективизма. Он же интересовался, правда ли, что человек, прописанный в Ленинграде, может поехать в Москву лишь с разрешения милиции.
Одного датчанина, которому дал мой телефон другой датчанин, я, не зная, что с ним делать, повел в гости к своему другу. Друг жил в коммуналке. Когда мы шли через завешанный лыжами и детскими корытами коридор, датчанин озирался так, как будто его в бессознательном состоянии завезли в экваториальние джунгли.
Translation - English The communal apartment was just as baffling to a foreigner as, say, a certificate of residence. Foreigners either simply did not believe in the existence of either of them, or excessively demonized them both. One American in the early seventies asked me if it was true that working-class people and intellectuals were housed together in order that the latter would educate the former, and the former would nurture the latter in the spirit of collectivism. He also wondered whether it were true that a person registered in Leningrad could only travel to Moscow with permission of the police.
Once, not knowing what to do with him, I invited a certain Dane who had been given my number by another Dane to visit a friend of mine. My friend lived in a communal apartment. As we walked down a hall hung with skis and children's wash tubs, the man looked around as if he had been brought unconscious to some equatorial jungle.

Experience
Years of experience: 10. Registered at ProZ.com: Aug 2013.
I am a language professional who loves a good translation experience. I have studied 3 languages, but my passion is Russian. I have worked as a Russian, English, French and Spanish teacher and later switched to translating. I began translating professionally in graduate school and became a full-time freelancer for 6 years.
I also edit and proofread, and work only into my native language, so I can guarantee that all my translations sound correct, natural and professional in the target language.
I have translated marketing materials, legal contracts, articles of association, websites, maps, news articles, letters, medical and pharmaceutical documents, political opinion columns, essays, poems, stories, and certificates. I have learned Russian as a foreign language from the ground up and am very proud of that monumental feat! I also know French to near-native fluency from intensive study and immersion for many years.
If you are looking for a translation that has the smooth, natural sound of an experienced native speaker and the precision and accuracy of a grammar nerd, you've come to the right place. I focus on giving my clients the results they need when they need them. If I can't do the job perfectly, I decline. If I have a question, I will ask. I would be honored to do business with you. Thank you!

Update July 2019: I am doing another Master's program and not not taking on new clients or jobs at this time.
