Koshchei the Deathless - Russian bit at the end

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Hi,
I don't think anyone has posted this yet - the Russian phrase at the end
of "The Death of Koshchei the Deathless" means (according to my very
fluent friend, Rachel Errington), "Dmitri, hurry up! Delay him/Restrain
him!"
Pretty much what you'd expect, but nice to have confirmation.

cheers,
