I read it. It was interesting. Kind of weird and hard to follow, but interesting.

Is it translated well?

Don't overestimate your effective range. A pistol is not a sniper rifle, nor is a submachine gun or assault rifle. No amount of skill will make them effective outside their range, which is a few yards at best for a pistol or smg, maybe 20 for a good quality assault rifle. Get closer, then shoot.

Once you get in the sarcophagus it gets gnarly. I loved the high radiation graphic glow effects, sounds and the monolith fire fights..

I've put a 3 round burst into a coyote at 100 meters with an M16A2. Assault rifles should be good for ranges out to 300m.
This game just sucks.

With the Stalker suit from the village, 1 grenade, and the silenced hand gun I was able to take out the Military dudes at the bridge. Well, took out a couple, then used an AK from one of them to do the rest.

I didn't even attempt to try to kill them, I just paid them.

yes, you can bribe them ... they take payment to cross ... or you can use the tunnel ... OR you can cross to the right of them - there is a passage above them by the wrecked rail cars
while i was negotiating, i stabbed the guy in charge to death and grenaded the other guys
kept the rubles and got some extra goodies

Yup, the game definitely is a bit of a challenge in the first areas with limited weapons and ammo. But once you get the hang of things and pick up better weapons, the game is a blast!
One thing I overlooked was the "Quick Med pack" ( [ ) and "Quick Bandage" ( ] ) buttons. They sure help when you're bleeding on the run.
Quicksave is your friend!
