Razbushevat'sia

[Alina Israeli]

Monosyllabic noun have a great potential. Since there is a familiar  
to all canned fish (yes, I know, it doesn't have to be canned, but  
non-canned doesn't have a name tag) called GORBUSHA http:// 
www.prodos.ru/pictures/gorbusha.jpg, that was a nice foundation for a  
cartoon in 2000 when the elections were not settled for a while. And  
it was used in press for some time: http://old.russ.ru/politics/
