RUSSIAN:   Путин жжот! — Putin žžot!  ‡

   

‡) Lit., “Putin turns up the heat”

— partisan Moscow graffiti, which has become esp. ironic through the years in the number of opposition politicians who get poisoned, defenistrated, or otherwise assassinated, whether in russia, or whilst living in exile in the UK or even in Washington State. In fact there is massive civil unrest over the latest entangled assassination tango.
