Proverbs

[Robert Chandler]

Dear Timothy and others

> I think "I volky syty, i ovtsy tsely" is very
> close to a very current idiomatic observation in US English "It's a win-win
> [situation]"
I doubt it.  Surely the Russian proverb is used ironically?  It is, after
all, entirely impossible for sheep and wolves to achieve a "win-win
situation"!

Best wishes,

Robert
