> In support of this: in Russian, the adjective for "lucky" and "happy" is the same – schastlivyi.
Where are you getting this info from?
I am a native speaker, and the two words one would typically use for “lucky” in Russian are “везучий” or “удачливый”. I’ve never heard of“счастливый” being used to refer to any kind of luck or even allude to it. If someone asked me to translate that word, it is straight up the exact same as what “happy” is in english, no different/extra connotations or anything.
