I DID NOT EXPECT THAT KISS WHAT THE HECK, I mean I expected some Yuri undertones here and there, BUT NOT THAT KISS OML THAT WAS SUCH A TREAT. Now sharlotta has a big death flag on her head I'm gonna explode😭💥

 

[Mr_Cracker]

I don’t mind Yuri but I wish they had a bit more chapters to get closer before that kiss was executed as it was too abrupt considering what they were talking abt

Russian nobility was actually remarkably francophile/phone, as a sort of self conscious thing after around Peter I's time/ you can read (or watch an adaptation) of tolstoy's war and peace to see a point in time where this becomes kinda problematic (the Napoleonic wars). But many aristocrats would almost exclusively speak french and do things like seek out french speaking tutors and domestic staff. similar problems during the first world war, since much of the higher nobility also had mixed foreign backgrounds (irish, baltic german, etc.) - but of course France was allied with Russia at the time. So a french name is really not implausible for the child of a Russian noble c. 1900-1920.

damn they raised a gigantic death flag right there, really hope I'm wrong.

Thanks for the TL.

 

[Richman]

Yuri? Hell yeah! Doomed yuri? Sadly, most likely.

Man, I'm really invested now, I can't wait to see what happens next.

 

[outinthegardener]

When doomed yuri isn't spicy enough, they bring out Death Flag Yuri.

Yuri crumbs in my our Soviet manga?! Oh, this is already doomed considering the nature of the series, this is set during WW2 after all lol.

It's not really specific to the Russian nobility, the French culture was as predominant in Europe for a long time as the Anglo culture has become nowadays, and French was the lingua franca of the European aristocracy and beyond.

As expected of nobles, knowing the finest tastes.
I predict their will fight in Stalingrade with all the nightmare that bring in, also, first time see mention Ukraine in manga

She did mention that it was her mother who gave her the name. The mother who later ran off with the French tutor.

 

[Singulo]

The author has a really nuanced and deeply comprehensive knowledge on this timeframe that you wouldn't see anywhere else. Elite ball stuff like the crimean cossacks, the holodomor, german KPD exiles, Charlotte stemming from a red-sympathizing noble family.

You can really tell he has deeply researched the history for this. Another thing is how this history/"worldbuilding" introduced. Its presented in a pretty well thought out and relatively organic way. Doesnt feel like exposition (not to the characters in the story at least). And this is coupled with a fairly engaging story with great characters. Lovely stuff.

nah exactly my point. french was for those who could afford tutors/education back in the day (they commented on ch1 too how education only became widespread once the soviets took over) so why the hell would a normal everyday man choose such a french name for their non noble child? dead giveaway so it's rlly fuckin funny for it to be considered a surprise

Sudden yuri?! A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Considering that the russian army has a specific notoriety for homosexuality and there is a long-standing tradition that recruits get sodomized in training, It only makes sense considering the setting.
