Re: Two questions about War and Peace translations for dreemyweird

omg omg these answers are so perfect; I could not have hoped for better. THANK YOU SO MUCH <3

Is the word razvrat / razvratnaya (or something linguistically related) and the metaphor of turning the wrong way also used for religious heretics or apostates? Like would it be extra appropriate in light of Helene's later conversion to Roman Catholicism, or no?

THANK YOU; YOU ARE THE BEST

It no longer is - not in modern Russian - but that's the etymology! In the Old Church Slavonic it was widely used for heretics and other people who were perceived to be headed in a decidedly wrong direction, morals- and behaviour-wise. So

>Like would it be extra appropriate in light of Helene's later conversion to Roman Catholicism, or no?

I believe it would.

I think it is also a nice touch that "razvrat" is and has been used to mean immoral enjoyment of excessive wealth, which is of course directly connected to its sexual connotations. I imagine this is largely what Pierre means when he thinks of her, that she's got so much and uses it in such a disgusting manner.

:D Thank you; I'm happy I could help. It's a pleasure talking about things like this.
