Hey, Vasaka, this isn't a complaint, but more like friendly advice. Maybe you should post in your native language if you don't know English? If you were studying English and typing it yourself, that would be different, but auto-translation software is a bad thing to rely on. Of course, there is nothing wrong with posting an auto-translation as well, but if you post in your native language, another speaker of that language can more easily answer your question.

Actually, I've found everything I needed. Thanks to everyone who helped.
P.S. I doubt that anyone here can answer in Russian, so use an automatic translator.

Indeed. Also I'm from Israel, but was born in Ukraine and speak Russian. (actually, I don't speak Ukrainian)
About posting in languages other than English - it contradicts forum guidelines.

About posting in languages other than English - it contradicts forum guidelines.
You mean this forum? Well, the only thing there seems to be for rules/guidelines in this forum is the little blurb you agree to when you create an account, which doesn't say anything about English.
With that being said, I can understand that it's a good idea to post in English, because English is the dominant language on the internet. What I was suggesting was something more like this (pretend that the dominant language on the internet is French for a moment):
Salut, j'aime Le Ur-Quan Masters, mais je vais avoir un problème. Lorsque je démarre, il montre juste moi un écran vide. Est-ce que quelqu'un sait pourquoi ce qui se passerait? Je veux vraiment jouer à ce jeu génial!
Hi, I love The Ur-Quan Masters, but I'm having a problem. When I start up, it just shows me a blank screen. Does anyone know why this would happen? I REALLY want to play this awesome game! This way, if someone happens to know English (again, we're in pretend-land where French is the dominant language), they can answer in English, which would be really helpful to me. In addition, if Google Translate gave an incomprehensible translation, an English-speaker will be able to read the English text instead of the badly-translated French text. But because the French translation is also there, non-English speakers will still be able to help me with my problem.
I suspect that translation software will translate my presentation of an example badly, so this is a note to those using Google Translate (i.e. Vasaka) to prevent confusion: The above is only a hypothetical example. I realize that English is the dominant language, and I don't actually have a problem with the game.
In retrospect, while I went to French-speaking pretend-land to take less time, considering how carefully I wrote that "clarification" message after, it probably would have been faster to just stay in the real world and translate Japanese text (of my own writing) to English. But, oh well....

About other languages - I was absolutely certain, but probably just got it from elsewhere...

Yeah, I thought you were supposed to post in English too. If that's not a guideline on this forum, it is on most.

Not the "common folk", but the heads of state.

Hey, since you're Russian or whatever, do you know what the citizens of the Soviet Union actually thought of the government at the time? I'm just curious, because American textbooks seem to suggest that citizens their hated the government and desperately wanted "freedom", which sounds a lot like American propaganda to me.
That's not true! Of course, there are Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, the Russian has always disliked. Also there is the western Ukraine, where the same thing. But that's all. People in other republics of the Soviet Union warmly relate to each other. As friends who have lived very long in the same house in which so many good memories of these times. In my town live 300 thousand people, and among them are representatives of almost all nationalities who have lived in the Soviet Union. And many nations that have never been part of the Soviet Union, all related to each other very well. History books and television, is the main weapon of greedy politicians. They try to convince the younger generation of children, what they need. Want people to think as profitable for them. It's so sad.

I guess I asked partly because I'm a Communist (Anarchist Communist, to be exact), and partly because I have seen a video of Cuba which, while it was supposed to show how "horrible" Communism is, actually showed that the people of Cuba are perfectly content with their lives, probably even happy.
