Originally subtitled by Eus in Sep 2025 on the basis of Russian subtitles by Lemicnor. Made for the video that is 18:15 long, which seems to have a few short segments missing from the video here and there. Revised by Niffiwan in Mar 2026. Although the original is in verse throughout, the translation is mostly not, though it does try to have the same number of syllables where possible (and reasonable).
