Without language, there is no nation; without the nation, there is no state
Russia understands this undeniably well. That's why the first thing in the occupation of our land - erasing all Ukrainian literature and culture. People without identity are easily manipulated. Hold on to your roots with all your might. Otherwise, Russia will come and instill the Russian language, thereby eventually eradicating your native one. Do not hesitate. Appreciate yours while you have the opportunity.

You won't believe me what Google translate did to Ukrainian title of the 19th century song - "Гей, соколи" (it's very, very popular in Poland too as "Hej sokoły" - it's one of these things we share)
I won't even comment on other parts of the translation which is... er... but from now on I'm going to call this song "Gay Falcons", and I snorted tea through my nose at work.
"average person writes 3 books a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person writes 0 books per year. Books Brando, who lives in cave & writes over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
Frodo may be Bilbo’s actual adopted nephew, but Merry and Pippin are his younger cousins, and Sam is his old gardener’s son whose family he clearly has a soft spot for and who he taught to read and write, and Gimli is the son of one of his old adventuring friends, and Legolas is, similarly, the son of the Elvenking who named him an elf-friend, and we know Aragorn is canonically his friend as well, who he very possibly could have met as a small child in Rivendell when he passed through, so really, like 7/9 members of the Fellowship are people he can employ weird elderly relative (or the honorary equivalent thereof) energy on if he wants to and I think that’s very powerful.
