Translation Needed - Russian I think

[Wojo 98]

I need help to translate the message below that was just sent to me in a book. I took a semester of Russian History almost 30 years ago, but I have a doubt if this is "Russian" proper. I would like to know what it says and hopefully craft a reply in same tongue.

 

Thanks in advance for your assistance and pontifications.

I don`t know much Russian but i think it means :

 

IF IT IS NOT YOU , THEN WHO

 

 

Let the Russian/Ukranian gang on the forum clarify this further if i m wrong.

 

 

Cheers

Sounds like Rabbi Hillel's famous quote, “If I am not for myself, then who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, then what am I? If not me, then who? And if not now, when?”

Which was actually the unofficial motto for my old unit (the bold-faced part).

No problems here. Russian Translation was the topic after all.
