But I also have a hard time integrating that fact into the
rest of the discussion, since I obviously don't know Russian.
In general, it is easy to write two very different statements
in Russian which may be considered to have similar or
equivalent meanings. In many cases it is OK to say something
figuratively, and people will very likely perceive the meaning
correctly. That may easily become a habit. This often causes me
to say vague statements in English.
No I mean, I understand what you're saying. It's just that, well,
the writer's nationality is sorta beyond my scope as a reader. :-)
