Hopefully, Russia will follow through on that pledge... "Mr. Putin, sir, what is the Russian word for 'hope'? Sir? Sir? Please stop laughing, sir..."

Russia is not going to clean up that mess. Most likely, the may add to the mess they created.

nadezhda is the word for Hope in Russian if I remember correctly. There was no word back in the cold war for it (when I learned it) because there really was no hope for the Russians. It was invented after the Soviet collapse I think. :)
