* ''Да нет, наверное'' (Da net, navernoye) - a phrase translated literally as, as "Well, probably not". This is often erroneously translated as "Yeah no, probably." A phrase almost identical probably" due to and familiar the word "да" (''da'', translated here as "Well,...") being confused with its more common homonym meaning "yes". Since this translation is completely illogical when interpreted literally, it contributes to English speakers as, "Yeah, probably no." the popular image of the Russians as a nation defying all logic, an image that many Russians actually embrace.

* ''Невозвращенец'' (nevozvraschenets), "the non-returnist", in Soviet times denoted a man who, after getting to Europe or USA, decided to seek asylum there and not return to the USSR. Since getting a permit to leave the country was a hard task that included all kinds of character checks to ensure such things will never happen, they were rare cases, and generally considered lucky bastards by everyone except for people who vouched for them and thus got in all kinds of troubles. Obviously, the Party taught to treat such traitors with burning hatred.
