I've translated to Russian "Power of marginals", an essay by Paul Graham. It is one of my favorite pieces. I've overlooked it at first, but now I think some of ideas there are quite valuable. 3 months ago, when I met a founder of successful startup creating automatic equities trading engine (it was my last meeting as Intel representative, so I remember it quite clearly), he mentioned that ideas from this essay had really helped to define the strategy of his company.

It is pretty long, that is why there is no Russian translation I am aware about available yet. Other ways it would be published by one of various "homeless in ..." bloggers trying to monetize on affiliates and adsense stuff.

I think most of the people who could benefit from it can read English any way, but it was an interesting experience for me.
I've never done translating and editing an essay in Russian before. Other interesting thing is to guess how many people would dare to read it. There is no adsense on the page, just a google analytics counter for the sake of my curiosity.
Enjoy!
