Confusing passage

[edit]

Currently: "…he decided to go to Leningrad to study on his own, a journey he continued for several years. In order to earn enough money for this journey, the future writer worked various types of jobs; for instance, he worked on the seas and on geological expeditions and trapped animals. … Rytkheu moved to Anadyr" and than later we have him at Leningrad University.

I can't quite make sense of this. We say he decided to go to Leningrad, but next we find him in Anadyr. If I read this correctly, he was in Anadyr before Leningrad, so the chronology is very confusing here. Part of the problem is the expression "a journey he continued for several years". "Journey" in English almost always means being at least most of the time in physical motion, trying to reach one's goal. But I don't think this is saying that: it is saying that the process of getting to Leningrad took years, not the physical journey. If, on the other hand, the reference is to time spent in Leningrad, that would be a soujourn, not a journey. But I hesitate to edit, because the passage as it stands is so confused I'm not sure I've even understood it correctly. - Jmabel | Talk 03:53, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, thanks! I'll go back through the Russian tonight and fix this. -Yupik (talk) 14:14, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I checked it, but couldn't figure it out myself, so I commented out that part. Does it work better now? -Yupik (talk) 21:28, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An untranslated title

[edit]

There's an untranslated title in the text: Путешествие в молодости; would that be rendered "Journey to Youth"? - Jmabel | Talk 22:51, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
