«Est cho? A esly naydu?": Ural journalists have prepared a "Uralmashevo-English" phrasebook for the 2018 World Cup
The Governor of the Sverdlovsk Region Yevgeny Kuyvashev instructed all specialists who will be involved during the 2018 World Cup games in Yekaterinburg to learn English. Officials from the city administration are already finishing the development of standard phrasebooks for their employees.
However, in addition to volunteers and city employees, the guests of the 2018 World Cup will also face ordinary Uralians who are not prepared to receive foreigners. In order to at least slightly eliminate the language gap, the Ural news agency Ura.ru prepared a phrasebook for foreign tourists. Uralmashevsky was chosen as the local variant of the Russian language — after the name of the Uralmash microdistrict, a manufacturing city in Yekaterinburg, which in the 90s was known throughout Russia as the center of Ural crime.

Good afternoon, sir. Would you be so kind as to come over to me for a little chat.
Please sit down.
Dearest, I do not approve of your behavior.
I'd like to discuss something with you.
Mister, you better think over your next steps quickly.
Please introduce yourself.
Mister, I don't quite understand what you're trying to say.
Mister, I want to steal your phone and money.
My dear fellow, you are wrong.
Sir, I noticed some specificity in your clothes.
Mister, I'm a little concerned about your social circle.
I was disappointed with your answer.
