It was good after all. It took me a fair amount of time and doubt, but the last 10 episodes really made it worth watching. I think I’m going to try and write a review later, when I feel like it.

Since I’m born in a former soviet republic, I’ve picked up Russian while I was still little. I’m not good at speaking or writing, though, since I use it exclusively for reading and literature.
I’m not recommending you learn russian today, unless you really know that you want or need to, because of Russia’s disturbing current political identity, geopolitical behaviour, the extremely intolerant civil society, deteriorating democracy and krypto-stalinistic interpretation of history, among other things. Even if you’re not interestend in the contemporary Russia itself, but in it’s great literature and culture, you probably still won’t be able to learn the language well enough without touching its current realities.
I haven’t finished a single book since last year. Except for some professional literature, but it doesn’t count.
First one in the list is The Great Gatsby.
