После отмены я всё равно оставила честный отзыв о магазине.

Because после always requires the genitive case.

• после = after
• отмена = cancellation
• genitive singular of отмена = отмены

So:

• после отмены = after the cancellation

This is a fixed grammar pattern in Russian:

• после урока = after the lesson
• после работы = after work
• после встречи = after the meeting

It means after the cancellation or after it was canceled.

Russian often uses a noun phrase where English might use a clause. So instead of saying something like after the order was canceled, Russian can simply say после отмены if the context already makes clear what was canceled.

This kind of phrasing is very common and natural in Russian.

Всё равно means anyway, all the same, or despite that.

In this sentence, it shows contrast:

• something was canceled,
• but despite that, the speaker still left an honest review.

So:

• я всё равно оставила отзыв = I left a review anyway

It is a very common expression in Russian.

Examples:

• Я всё равно пойду. = I’ll go anyway.
• Он всё равно не согласится. = He still won’t agree / He won’t agree anyway.

Because the speaker is female.

In the past tense, Russian verbs agree with the subject in gender and number:

• оставил = he left
• оставила = she left
• оставило = it left
• оставили = they left

So я оставила tells you that the speaker is a woman.

If a man said the same sentence, it would be:

• После отмены я всё равно оставил честный отзыв о магазине.

Yes, and that is exactly the idea here. In Russian, оставить отзыв is a very common expression meaning:

• to leave a review
• to leave feedback

It works much like English leave a review.

Examples:

• Оставить комментарий = to leave a comment
• Оставить сообщение = to leave a message
• Оставить отзыв = to leave a review

So this is a normal collocation, not a strange literal use.

Because честный is an adjective, and it describes the noun отзыв.

• отзыв is masculine singular
• so the adjective must also be masculine singular:
  • честный отзыв = an honest review

честно is an adverb, meaning honestly, so it would not fit before a noun here.

Compare:

• честный отзыв = an honest review
• честно написала отзыв = wrote the review honestly

Because the noun отзыв is commonly followed by о + prepositional case when you say what the review is about.

• отзыв о магазине = a review about the store
• отзыв о книге = a review about the book
• отзыв о фильме = a review about the film

Here:

• магазин = store
• prepositional singular = магазине

So:

• о магазине = about the store

Because the standard pattern is:

• отзыв о ком? о чём? = review about whom? about what?

Russian uses specific prepositions with many nouns, and these combinations often just have to be learned as vocabulary patterns.

For отзыв, the usual construction is:

• отзыв о...

Not:

• отзыв на магазин in this meaning

You may sometimes see отзыв на что-либо in more specialized contexts, especially with formal critiques or responses, but for everyday customer review of a store/product/service, отзыв о... is the most natural pattern to learn first.

Оставила is perfective.

The pair is usually:

• оставлять = imperfective
• оставить = perfective

Here the past form оставила comes from perfective оставить.

Perfective is used because the sentence talks about a completed action:

• she did leave the review
• the action is presented as a finished whole

If you used the imperfective, it would change the feel of the sentence and might focus more on the process, repetition, or background context rather than the completed result.

So оставила is the natural choice here.

Yes, but the meaning shifts slightly.

• оставила отзыв = left a review
• написала отзыв = wrote a review

Both can work, but:

• оставила отзыв focuses on the act of posting/submitting it
• написала отзыв focuses more on the act of composing it

In online shopping or customer-service contexts, оставить отзыв is especially common.

Yes, it can often be omitted in Russian, because the verb form already shows person and number, and here also gender:

• оставила already suggests I in context if the speaker is talking about herself

So both are possible:

• После отмены я всё равно оставила честный отзыв о магазине.
• После отмены всё равно оставила честный отзыв о магазине.

Including я can make the subject clearer or slightly more emphatic. Russian often includes pronouns when the speaker wants contrast, clarity, or emphasis.

No, Russian word order is relatively flexible.

The sentence given is natural:

• После отмены я всё равно оставила честный отзыв о магазине.

But other versions are also possible, depending on emphasis:

• Я всё равно оставила честный отзыв о магазине после отмены.
• Честный отзыв о магазине я всё равно оставила после отмены.

The original version sounds very natural because it sets the time/context first:

• После отмены = after the cancellation

Then it gives the main action:

• я всё равно оставила честный отзыв о магазине

So the order helps the sentence flow clearly.

Because the standard form of the word is всё.

• всё = everything / still / all the same, depending on context
• in всё равно, it is part of the fixed expression meaning anyway or all the same

In many printed texts, Russians often write е instead of ё, so you may also see:

• все равно

But the correct pronunciation and dictionary form here is всё равно.

This is very common in Russian spelling: ё is often omitted in everyday writing, even though it is technically a different letter.

In this sentence, отзыв means a review or customer review, not just any kind of response.

The word отзыв can mean:

• review
• feedback
• response
• opinion

But with о магазине, the most natural interpretation is:

• a review of the store
• likely an online or customer review

So in context, it sounds like someone canceled something, but still posted an honest review about the store afterward.
