I greatly recommend it, as well as its unofficial sequel "Significant Digits" (unofficial in a sense that it was written by a different person but endorsed by HPMoR author).

It's a great take on what would happen in HPverse if key characters were actually smart (including villains) and the worldbuilding was more consistent. But it also pays homage to the original series and many other works of fiction.

In the actual Slavic languages, "pirog" (or adjacent roots) just means a pie. "Piroshki" is the same root but with a diminutive suffix.
