This is really funny - I've just stumbled upon this photoshopped image of a United Russia campaign ad of the "Putin's Plan" variety - at Discovery Institute's Real Russia Project (aka Russia Blog):



Here's a quick translation for Charles Ganske, the man who mistook this for the real thing:

I smoked it.
It kicks ass!

Putin's Plan.
Tkachev's Plan.

By 2010 - 60 tons of weed from 1 ha.
Ha-ha...
BUA-HA-HA-HA!

FUCKED RUSSIA


'Plan' is one of the words for pot in Russian slang (more - here).

The last line doesn't translate too smoothly - it should be Yedinaya Rossiya (United Russia) - but it's Yebimaya Rossiya instead...

Anyway, great job, Charles! Учи олбанский!!! :)

    PS I'm sure Gov. Tkachov would be, ah, hurt to know that Russia Blog has feminized him. I hear that can be a painful operation.

    Hmm... in what way was Tkachev feminized? By having Genetive case applied to his last name?

    No, by mistaking this Russian genitive for a feminine ending: by translating what should've been "Tkachev's plan" as "Tkacheva's plan" in the caption.

    I guess you have already heard the song along the same theme...

    Yours,
