Discussion

Boris Shapiro Feb 28, 2022:
Необходим более широкий контекст. "Революционная ситуация" упоминается в тексте впервые? Или это ответ на реплику, в которой она была темой? "Это" - это "революционная ситуация"? Или что-то другое? Что, в конце концов, вызвало у вас затруднение - оборот или словосочетание?

[Now,] if we are talking revolution, country X is the first that comes to mind

Boris is right, Angela. You can't fine tune this without knowing the details. I have no idea if the key is right here, or what the mandate is in terms of how much leeway you have, but this is how I would put it, give or take, if I was writing this myself. In any event, no "revolutionary situations" for me, thank you very much. My name is definitely not Vladimir Ilyich:))))

Cheers, Angela. I hope this helps.

Speaking of revolutionary atmosphere, this foremost applies to country X.

A possible nuance. The situation might be "an atmosphere" that precedes an actual revolution.
