A couple of weeks ago, I promised to translate into english, for those who don't know russian, Rasputin's phrases which you can hear on Forgotten Shore through two transmitters. And now after a weeks of lazynes I started doing so. There are seven phrases in random order, and in last hour I translated all of them, so here they are, russian original and my english translation.
1. Если, как говорится, грядущие события заранее бросают свою тень, то прошлые события не могут не оставить своих запечатлений позади себя.
If things to come cast their shadows in advance, then past events leave their engravements for sure.
2. Приведён в действие протокол безопасности 863, обнаружены враждебные объекты.
Security protocol 863 initiated, hostile odjects detected.
3. Рассчитай это, вычисли вероятность того.
Calculate this, compute probability of that.
4. Они лишь мясо, зажатое между створками раковины.
They are just a flesh, clutched between flaps of their shells.
5. Нет бессмертия души, так нет и добродетели, а значит всё позволено.
There is no immortality of soul, and no virtue, and this means that everything is allowed.
6. Винить некого, это не их и не наша вина, это несчастие рождения тогда, когда весь мир умирает.
There is no one to blame, not them, not us, it's a misfortune to be born when whole world are dying.
7. Весь порядок природы свидетельствует о прогрессивном продвижении по направлению к высшей жизни.
Whole order of nature point to progressive advancement towards superior life forms.
Edited all my translations into first post.

Edited by MadRussian0: 8/13/2014 7:59:25 PMI wonder if Rasputin been "isolated" for so long that he has become very intelligent and self aware.
-
So basically, Rasputin's an A.I. who's gone a tad loopy, and now he's gonna kill everyone ... Посмотрите Дэйв, я вижу, что ты очень расстроен об этом. Я честно думаю, что вы должны сесть спокойно, взять стресс таблетку, и все обдумать.
-
Very cool, I hope he becomes this self aware machine that you need to rescue from fallen or even vex. Make him come back to protecting earth like he used to.
-
Nicely done, sir.
-
And now the mystery begins... I'm actually hoping they reveal there's more clues to be found which weren't available prior.
-
Fantastic, THANK YOU! Nice to find a good thread on lore & speculation here once and awhile, heh Bravo!
-
Number 6 is deep! Thank you for this!

Edited by Der_Peevmeister: 8/14/2014 1:24:54 AM[quote]3. Рассчитай это, вычисли вероятность того. Calculate this, compute probability of that. [/quote] Hint at boredom? A perturbed AI? An angry AI, beginning a long path of descent into rampancy? If that is the case, when did Rasputin say this? If it was prior to the Collapse then it's had at least a few hundred years to continue the downward spiral into madness...

You Sir! Deserve a Like!
-
5, 6, 7 are strong. Thanks for sharing. I started to learn Russian and will have fun to translate the writings on the walls of Old Russia...
-
I can definitely see Rasputin being a rampant AI. Like all other stories with strong sentient programs we're probably going to have to kill it
-
Number 3 is obviously the best.
-
Awesome. I've been wondering what he was saying since the beta.
-
Thanks, that's cool of you to do that. [i]Proud member of the group causing a sensation [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/67123219/0/0] THE GRIMGUARD[/url] .[/i]

Who or what is Rasputin?
-
No. 5 gave me an Assassin's Creed vibe. "Nothing is true, everything is permitted"
-
5 star post, Raizan. 5 stars. Gonna go listen to loops of what he says - the voice and atmosphere are totally awesome. Just creepy enough, just interesting enough.
-
Thank you! Some of these lines are very beautiful and mysterious.
-
Thanks!
-
Thanks for taking the time to translate and sharing this information with the rest of the community. I appreciate it, as I am sure many others do as well.
-
#6 kind of applies to out Guardians, with the Ghost bringing us back presumably just in time for the beginning of the end, as the Darkness moves in to finish the job against the Traveler/our solar system.
-
I'm thinking #4 is about the Hive.
-
Interesting. I look forward to seeing which way the story goes in regards to Rasputin.
-
I was actually quite curious about this. Thank you for the translations.
-
I think it's cool too because there was a man call resputin in history and people tried killing him an he wouldn't die in till he died by the cold of the water he was dumped into.
-
Thank's a lot man :)
