There is a word in Ukrainian: "пiдрахуй." It means "count it up." So, yesterday, May 6, in the city of Saratov, a man named Mikhail Shapovalov staged a one-person picket in support of the "Prisoners of May 6" (people prosecuted over the Bolotnaya Square protest in Moscow on May 6, 2012).
He was carrying a sign that read: "Putin, пiдрахуй the days of freedom you have left!" As you can see, there is nothing unusual about it if you translate the word correctly instead of splitting it into parts. After all, if you start splitting words up, even the Russian word "оскорблять" can look questionable. The translation of the word "пiдрахуй" was given right there on the sign, in a footnote. Just now, after an eight-hour hearing, a court in Saratov ruled that the sign amounted to hooliganism and sentenced Shapovalov to one day in jail. So that is how, with one careless ruling and a desire to curry favor, a Saratov judge created an international scandal and permanently attached the ordinary Ukrainian word "пiдрахуй" to V. V. Putin. One assumes that at the next rally, such signs will be counted by the dozens. Update. Well, yes, the signs have already started appearing:
And even at Shapovalov's trial, some journalists were wearing matching T-shirts:
