111:Welcome back Mr Putin - if indeed you've ever been away




So, most of the results are in and that nice Mr Putin will be with us for a while longer. My prediction turned out to be true.


I wonder how many other Russians are crying after the result.


A note for my students, completely unrelated of course:
Crocodile tears (plural noun)
"tears or expressions of sorrow that are insincere"

  • they weep crocodile tears for the poor and disadvantaged, but are basically happy with things as they are

Origin:

mid 16th century: said to be so named from a belief that crocodiles wept while devouring or luring their prey
