Today is Defender of the Fatherland Day (formerly Red Army Day) in Russia. Some Russians are marking it with good humor, congratulating us with this defender of the fatherland. pic.twitter.com/QmK1bS1xol— Julia Ioffe (@juliaioffe) February 23, 2019
I've no idea if this is truly Russian, but my stats tell me I get a lot of visits from Mother Russia. (Followed closely by France, but I've got nothing for them.) (I'll have to depend on NTodd to translate the Russian; if it isn't gibberish.)
I might as well add this, as Trump is clearly their man on our side.

Yeah, that's good idiomatic Russian. It's kind of "Congratulations (Happy) on Day X."
ReplyDeleteWell then as Sting sang, the Russians have a sense of humor, too.
ReplyDeleteGotta admire that.
