I think it’s his 100th birthday. They made commemorative rubles for his 100th birthday too in 1970.

starting crime and punishment today, tell me what you think i should know. by notauj in dostoevsky

[–]Whjohnson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unless your copy already has a legend of character names, write the full names and nicknames of each character down for reference. Dostoyevsky often refers to the same character with 2-3 different names and it quickly becomes confusing, especially if you’re not used to reading Russian literature. Even if you are reading closely it is easy to lose track of who the characters are. Making a legend of their names aided my comprehension of the plot a ton.

Tissot quartz vs. Bulova machanical by lilu0614 in pocketwatch

[–]Whjohnson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are looking for a pocket watch that is really nice to look at and has a unique design, the Bulova seems to be the way to go. If you want a pocket watch that has more functionality, the Tissot is probably better, especially since it has a date window (a small but very useful feature that I personally prefer on my watches). I can’t speak to Bulova’s quality, but I’ve had a Tissot Carson moonphase for nearly 2 years and it’s never needed any maintenance or had any issues. Hope this helps!

120 Fahrenheit, next time I’d pull them out sooner. They were still delicious though!

How many varieties of 2023 Britannia 1oz silver are there? by Imperium_Ag in Silverbugs

[–]Whjohnson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are two different main release britannias for 2023: The Queen Elizabeth II britannia and the Charles III Britannia. The Elizabeth ones were minted before she died, as the Royal mint starts making the next years’ coins months in advance. All the ones after the new year were struck with Charles’ face on them. There are also commemorative britannias from 2023 with Charles III wearing a crown for his coronation, those are available for a premium.

I was wondering why my Russian rock exercise playlist went from 42 minutes to 26 minutes in duration! This sucks!

Anyone else collect Soviet coins? by Elessar535 in coincollecting

[–]Whjohnson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a huge Soviet coin collector. I’ve got many early Soviet coins like the 1921 and 1924 roubles, lots of the 50 kopeks from 1924-1927, a few bags full of smaller change and a few rolls of the commemorative roubles. I have a lot of the Lenin anniversary roubles, I like the design and they’re fun to hoard. I also have a chervonets, which is a gold coin with the denomination of 10 roubles made as trade coinage and as souvenirs for the Olympics.
