In plain English

This repository is a collection of hacking and cybersecurity books and articles that have been automatically translated into Russian. Rather than being a piece of software, it functions as an archive: a curated set of security related reading material made accessible to Russian speaking readers who might not otherwise easily find translated versions. The README itself is short and mostly points readers elsewhere for more content and for ways to contribute. It mentions a Telegram channel where the maintainer shares additional material of a similar kind, and it invites people to open Issues on the GitHub repository if they want to suggest a specific book or article for translation, or if they spot a formatting mistake in something already translated. Because the translations are described as automatic rather than done by a human translator, readers should expect the usual limitations of machine translation: technical terminology may occasionally be rendered awkwardly, and nuance from the original English text is not guaranteed to carry over perfectly. Still, for a Russian speaking reader who wants exposure to security and hacking focused material that was originally written in English, this lowers the language barrier considerably compared to having no translation at all. Given the sparse README, there is no listed table of contents, structure, or index of exactly what is included in the archive as it stands. Someone interested in what specific books or topics are covered would need to browse the repository's files directly rather than relying on the README for a summary. This project fits people learning about cybersecurity and hacking topics in Russian, and it works more as a shared reading library than as a tool you install or run.
