뜻
To try to do something.
문화적 배경
The phrase 'Попытка — не пытка' is a very common idiom used to encourage someone. It means 'Trying isn't torture,' implying that there's no harm in trying even if you fail. In the Soviet era, 'making an attempt' was often framed as a collective duty toward building the future. Many propaganda posters used similar language to encourage workers to 'attempt' new production records. In the modern Russian startup scene, 'сделать попытку' is often used when discussing 'pivots' or 'MVPs' (Minimum Viable Products), reflecting a shift toward a more experimental, Western-style business approach. Classic Russian literature often focuses on the 'futile attempt' (тщетная попытка). Characters in Dostoevsky or Chekhov often make attempts to change their lives that are thwarted by fate or their own nature.
