News from unofficial V.V.Putin fanclub. And for those keeping asking 'who is mr. Putin': he is the President of Russian Federation.
  • Verrrrry weird. Me likie.
  • Very funny (especially in Russian -- I love "Bratello," translated as "Bro"). Too bad they don't translate more of them; I love the one where Putin and Surkov decide the tidal wave is an example of international terrorism.
  • What is "bratello"? I can't find that in my Russian dictionary.
  • Criminal's slang; "Bro" is the best translation.
  • Nostril: You'll need to supplement your dictionary with this -- bratello doesn't seem to be in there, but otherwise it's invaluable when dealing with slang and underworld terms (not to mention acronyms, which most dictionaries ignore or treat very scantily).
