I have got a list of russian warships from the napoleonic wars, but their names, in phonetic russian (latin alphabet) and cyrillic seem some times strange and in a few occasions, simply wrong.

Do we still have in Languish someone able to read Russian?

Tonitrus should be able to, i mean it's not like the US government didn't spend some money training him to do such a silly thing :P

I'm passable at reading cyrillic (not that I understand it, though).

Didn't Ide learn Russian?

I could ask my Bulgarian colleague sitting next to me, though; she speaks Russian.

OK. Thank you, friends

This is the list (classified by the meanings I guess, i.e. cities, saints, battles, etc) I know it's very long, analysing and sorting the original one took me long enough... if you think it was easy to discover that 'Fershanpenuaz' wasn't Turkish, but stood for the battle of La Fére-Champenoise, you are sorely mistaken!  :P

Feel free to ignore it, answer only some of my doubts, and to take your time answering. In short, do as you like...

Same--I know what sounds Cyrillic letters make, so I can pronounce written Russian (or other languages written in Cyrillic) but I don't know what the words actually mean.

Captain!  Two points off the starboard bow I espy the mighty Cast Iron bearing down upon us.  And a little to windward I can make out the rest of the squadron, the Copper and the Tin.  O! what a fearsome sight.

Why would they use Dutch names?

Why would they use Dutch names?

Russians adopted a lot of Dutch words, especially nautical terms, after Peter the Great's visit to Holland.

I'm not sure why those names seem to appear twice, first the Russian word, followed by a Cyrillic transcription of the Dutch word. Maybe they were Dutch ships used by the Russians?
