Russian Language and Culture

there was no war...sort of, russians occupied romania ruthlessly and with ease

Карета (karéta).

I'd say it's a Troyka (тройка).

IMHO I can suppose that Krupskaya was originated from a Russian word Krupa - which means grits. This opinion was given by a professional www.Russian-English-Translator.com - all you need in Russian Translation

It actually means pancake, but it's an euphemism for a pejorative Russian word for prostitute. You could also use it when you are frustrated, without swearing.

Too many. However, Russian women (especially beautiful ones) cheat much more, and that's a huge shame for those kind of women. Many Russian men just want to "revenge" for their unfaithful women, so they cheat too. Trust me, Russian women are among the most beautiful in the world, but you cannot trust them because they love to cheat (not all of them, but many Russian women do cheat their husbands).

cos they were made that way

As far as I am concerned, the standard in Russia today is only to assign patronymics to people who have fathers with traditional Russian names. When I have been in Russia, for foreigners on visas and other official documents they will use your middle name (if you have one) in place of the patronymic and if you do not have a middle name, they will use nothing.

I could make up a patronymic for the name Thomas but it would simply be based on the patronymic standards and what "sounds correct" to me and, thus, would not be official or necessarily accurate.

I believe the same is the case for Ukraine as well.

In Ukranian households, it is good luck to have the porridge stick to the ceiling. You try to stick it (throw it) for good luck.

Surnames like Shvets or Shevchenko (Швец, Шевченко) come from Ukraine. Shvets (Швец) means tailor, Shevchenko (Шевченко) means tailor's son.
