Mind Your Language

The Russian president (that guy with an unpronounceable last name) seems to be a good judge of the colloquial Russian and is not afraid of sharing the constructions he esteemed especially much with his Twitter-followers.

Last night Mr. Medvedev re-twitted one of the former Russian parliament deputies, Konstantin Rykov, who asserted that harsh critics of the presidential party, calling it 'a party of swindlers and thieves', are nothing 'but a bunch of c**k-sucking sheep'.

Unfortunately, this re-tweet was deleted in a couple of minutes, so now connoisseurs of the Russian language can enjoy the rich vocabulary of the President's microblog only on numerous screenshots on the Web.

As for me, I'm waiting for Barack Obama, swearing at the Republicans.
