Transcript
Вы давно служите командиром роты в этом полку?
How long have you served as a company commander in this regiment?
Нет, не очень давно, всего два месяца. Командиром роты я стал только в феврале.
No, not very long ago, just two months. I became a company commander only in February.
А где вы служили до этого?
Where did you serve before?
Я два года служил под пензой.
I served under Penza for two years.
И где вам больше нравится служить? Здесь, на Дальнем Востоке или там, где вы служили раньше?
And where do you prefer to serve? Here, in the Far East or where you served before?
Трудный вопрос. Мне и в пензе нравилось, и здесь тоже ничего.
Difficult question. I liked it in Penza, and there’s nothing here either.
