Maybe I'm tone-deaf, but I don't see anything in your quotation that I 
would describe as "hysterical," in either language. I might've taken a 
different approach here and there, but the English doesn't come across 
to me as more dramatic or flamboyant than the Russian.

Can't say, but there's no need to shout. Makes you sound hysterical.
