Hey langblr check out this mythical pull I got the other day:
That's a russian to burmese textbook, I've been searching for something like that for MONTHS(I've even found a scan of the first few pages of that exact book online tho), but then I found out that the site of the biggest bookstore in Moscow (and probably the whole of Russia by extension) had LITERALLY ONLY 1 COPY so I went there and bought it!! It was pretty cheap too (like 15$)!!!
The wildest part is that it's from 1971 and was published by the ministry of foreign affairs of the Soviet Union!! There are people out who think their textbooks are too old because they're from early 2000s and I got this relic.
#the first few pages mention the politics of Burma of that time which is a wild read in hindsight#Quote “other ethnic groups of burma include the Kachin; the Karen; and the Shan peoples *who all enjoy autonomous rights*”#No they absolutely did not under Ne Win lol don't lie to me silly book#Also they mention the burmese way to socialism and the burma socialist program party lol#btw hi to Helen specifically; i remember you from my old blog and im like 90% sure you're reading this post right now#language learning#burmese language#myanmar#burmese#burma#sino-tibetan#vintage textbooks#langblr#i originally posted this a long time ago but it didn't show up in tags before so im reposting this
