It's understandable, but with lots of grammatical, spelling and stylistic mistakes. Basically it reads like something Google Translate would produce.
- schoen 8y agoHe has a discussion at the very end (on the last two pages) about his decision to write in Russian, in which he acknowledges that he may not have done very well. Google Translate's version of the final paragraph: > This article is a consequence of two pushes, first of all, an attempt to understand the nature of the geometric theory, to form a clear idea about the difference between it and the arithmetic theory and their similarity. Here I think I was successful, although I do not argue a little. Secondly, I wanted to significantly improve my knowledge of Russian. Here I had only limited success. For me, Russian is on a completely different level than the two foreign languages with which I am familiar, French and German. As I noted above, Russian is much more difficult than I appreciated, even more than Turkish, another language in which I have a limited but hard-to-work ability. Therefore, my efforts and the efforts of friends and acquaintances who encouraged me as I wrote this article had limited success. I am still pleased that, despite my age, I do not regret either the time or the effort that I have given her.
