The Case of Soviet Justice

It’s hard to decide whether to laugh or to be impressed…

They say this happened in the USSR in the early 1960s. There was a family with nine children. The parents—ordinary construction workers—really wanted to have a tenth child to qualify for the "Mother-Heroine" order, which would also get them a bigger apartment, a car, and a bunch of other benefits. But there was a problem—the dad had run out of steam, and the tenth kid just wasn’t happening. So, they decided to get some outside help.

They spotted a foreman at their construction site and offered him 1000 rubles (which was no small sum back then). Well, the foreman did his part, and the tenth child came along.

Everyone seemed to get what they wanted, so all should have been well. BUT!... The foreman turned out to be a spiteful, jealous type. He filed a report in court, spilling the beans about how the workers had "cheated the state."

The courtroom was packed, and after the verdict was read, people were rolling under the benches with laughter. The verdict stated:

- "The actions of the accused do not constitute a crime, the child is loved and wanted in the family.

- The 1000 rubles are to be considered illegal earnings and must be recovered from the foreman.

- Since the foreman admitted that the child is his, he is required to pay child support until the child reaches 18."

Do you still think the Soviet court wasn’t fair? 😁

❓What's the difference between извини and прости?

🔢 Прости (простите) (perf.asp (plural/polite))
[pras-ti (pras-ti-ti)]
🇬🇧 I beg your pardon!, I am so sorry!

🔻The word прости(те) originates from the Proto-Slavic "prostiti," meaning "to heal" or "to liberate." To forgive someone is to heal your soul from the hurt, to free it from the offense inflicted by that person.

🔢 Извини (извините) (perf.asp (plural/polite))
[iz-vi-ni (iz-vi-ni-ti)]
🇬🇧 Excuse me! I beg your pardon!

🔻The word извини(те) comes from the word "вина" meaning "guilt." The prefix ИЗ- indicates that the person needs to be freed, literally "taken out of guilt." This means removing them from the situation that weighs on their conscience.

🔻Therefore, прости(те) carries a more personal and spiritually profound meaning, while извини(те) is a more common, everyday, and formal option.
