Noblesse Oblige

Via the Thrash message boards, a wonderfully engaging Russian interview with the Czar. It's a shame we Thrashers fans have to rely on Google Robots to do translations; can't the Thrashers organization hire an official Russian translator? I hear Peter Constantine is available.

Anyway:

As I already mentioned, yet I do not think about the future. Money for me is not important, just in the "Atlanta" I am satisfied with everything here, my second home, but the team - my second family. I hope that here I will hold all of his career.

A less mechanical translation might be "I hope that I will spend my entire career here."

Actually, I prefer to think that when speaking his native Russian, the Czar actually uses exactly the diction we get from the mechanical translators. He is so cool that he talks like Yoda.

Nice Peter Constantine reference.
