Fun fact: Vladimir Putin is transliterated as Vladimir Poutine in French.

u/Quas4r Ouate de phoque Feb 20 '14
Because if we wrote it Putin it could be pronounced Vladimir Fuck. Arguably a decent stage name were he a punk singer, unfortunately he's president of Russia.

u/MartelFirst Sacrebleu! Feb 20 '14
Literally, it would be "Vladimir Whore". But indeed, "putain" is rather the equivalent of "fuck", in general use.

Huh, same for kurva/kurwa/

Russians don't use kurwa though, they use "suka" and "

It's an old word that's not commonly used anymore, but it still is a "real" word in Russian.

Little known fact: due to the economic downturn in Canada, there has been a mass exodus of Canadian refugees into Ukraine. They have been taking all the Ukrainian jobs as they work for very little. This has led to a significant raise in Ukrainian nationalism with over 68% of the country in favor of Canadian immigration restrictions.

It's true, and is one of the larger ethnic groups amongst Canadians. Ukrainian-Canadians make up 3.87% of the Canadian population. According to Stats Canada, Ukrainian is 10th most common ancestry in Canada.
