In a shocking incident, horrific visuals are surfacing on the internet in which it can be seen that the Hamas militants are taking a semi-naked dead body of an Israeli woman on an open truck and parading in the city. It is said that the militants after attacking Israel are killing and taking the civilians as hostage. The militants took the dead bodies of the innocent civilians who were killed during the attack in open trucks and paraded them.
it’s Tarkovsky, not Tarkovski
TIL. In my native language the ий in Тарковский (still?) becomes an i.
Honestly, I wonder if they don’t just do it randomly. I volunteered with Ukrainians. I met brothers who had the same family name in cyrillic, but two different names in roman/latin script. They were in the same group, but didn’t follow each other in an alphabetic list of surnames. Wasn’t a y/i either. Think it was something at the beginning of the surname.
IRC the Soviets used to use the French method of romanisation (for passports). So the ий became an i. I think at a certain point they started using an english system, in which the ий becomes a y.
But if you google romanization of Russian and the Russian alphabet, you’ll still see that й can become an i, y, or even a j.
