Anyone speak fluent Russian? I'd love to know what's being said at Russian Trump election party

&feature=youtu.be

This election night party was organized by Konstantin Rykov and Maria Katasonova, who claimed to have lead a Russian hacking/social media influence campaign for Trump.

Also, can we get the identity of the American who was interviewed who's talking about how America was founded on Christian values yada yada yada Trump?

Rykov is seen briefly at 6:33 and 7:22 (where he's seen singing along with fellow partygoers to Queen's "We are the Champions." )

It's been almost 50 years since I used Russian on a daily basis.

The lady talks and the phone types what she says in English. My daughter switches it then it translates her words to Russian text.

Not perfect but it gives you a good idea.

I wish it was easy to translate spoken words without so much hassle.

The American is Jack Hanick, former Fox contributor, recent convert to Russian Orthodoxy and advisor for Tsargrad TV, which has a conservative, Orthodox take on the news.

They're all beyond idealized versions of reality.



Here's it being presented to Le Pen, who's apparently not shy about being seen with Russian hacking agents:
