Everything is very simple. Clinton is the man. Like the elephant (slon) in Russian. Elephant female in Russian is "sloniha". So Clinton female is "Clintoniha" (Клинтониха).
This is a joke.
Oops. I'm sorry I asked. Actually, I didn't ask...haha.
Did you not ask? This is not a problem, I am always ready to help!
Charming. But you know, there's no choice, now. We're stuck with her, because....well, look at the alternative. By the way, what did Russia think of the so-called Socialist who was competing with her for the Dem nomination?

The Russians know very little about Sanders. I have heard that he somehow connected with Russia (studied or worked). The Russians almost do not watch the election campaign in the United States. Trump is a symbol of the possible change in our policy, Clinton is a symbol of continuation of the current negative situation. But Trump's election speech and his real politics after the election may be very different.
Industrial exploration, ex-Soviet style. Not bad at all.
This is a popular hobby among young people. But it is quite a hidden subculture, they don't spread the coordinates of the objects and methods of penetration in open access.
Re: 'Most Russian believes Gorbachev is a traitor. It is a fact'
Sorry been away for awhile. Just saw the comment Maksim.
As a Russian, why do you think most Russians believe him a traitor? I thought he was a man of vision who was extremely realistic on the future of events and where the country was headed. Russians indeed are noted for their 'realism'. If Russian pride was hurt it wasn't Gorbachev who caused it but simply the confluence of events catching him and people in a storm.

Create a topic in Russian forum. Join to vote (Russian language)
Well I would want YOU to have the honor for your idea!
I think I would like a little more 'discussion' though. For as we know
Maskim things aren't so simple in our worlds.
I have a question relating to the nostalgia for Soviet Union in Russia. I just thought there could be two main causes for it.( Or maybe there ares some other factors as well)
- the first one, let´s call it "nationalistic" or "political": people are missing USSR because it was a powerful super country compared to post-soviet Russia, esp. the Yeltsinian Russia
or
- are people more missing of the soviet society, lifestyle, culture: socialistic with no poverty risk, no gap between poor and rich, life style less competitive, free from capitalist pitched battle of everybody against everybody and so on.
I believe the both could be important but that do you think, which out of these two is the predominating cause of nostalgia for USSR ?
