🤩Tри толстяка
  [ tree talstyaka ]
🇬🇧 The three fat men

🔻This book was written in 1924, by Yury Olesha and first published in 1928.

🔻It was the first revolutionary fairy tale in Soviet literature. The critical reaction at first was varied. V. Boichevsky in an article "How Stories For Children Should Not Be" saw it as a "sugarcoated" presentation of revolution. Anatoly Lunacharsky, however, saw in it "heart-felt apologetics by the artistic intelligentsia accepting the revolution".

🔻Konstantin Stanislavki and the Moscow Art Theatre premiered a dramatic version of the story in May 1930.

🔻A ballet version with music by V. Oransky was presented in 1935.

🔻It has also been turned into an opera (composer, V. Rubin, 1956), a film, cartoon movies, diafilm (filmstrip), several comic versions, several radio versions, and a computer game.

🔻There are even restaurants with this name in Russia!

Доброе утро, товарищи!

🤔Anatomical oddity: Some people do their work badly/ improperly.
In this case Russians use their favourite expression:

• Всё делать через задницу (жопу)
[ vsyo delat' cherez zadnizoo (zhopoo) ]
🇬🇧 to do everything at the crack of butt/ass

⚠️ 'Задница' [ zadnitsa ] is less impolite than 'жопа' [ zhopa ]. Both words are low colloquial though. To sound polite in Russian one should avoid these words!

• Ты всё делаешь через задницу (жопу), Ольга! Кто тебя учил так закрывать дверь???
[ ty fsyo delayesh cheriz zadnitsoo (zhopoo), Ol'ga! Кto tibya oochil tak zakryvat' dver' ]
🇬🇧 You do everything at the crack of your butt, Helga! Who taught you to close the car door this way???

🎧🗣👇 listen, practice, do your work properly and have an easy Monday! Hugs!

🐾 Я не могу, у меня лапки!
[ ya ni magu, u minya lapki ]
🇬🇧 I can't (do this), I've got paws!

Meaning:
A humorous phrase that means unwillingness or inability to perform some action.

Origin:

🔻In 2017 a meme with a cat doctor who can’t open the first aid kit because “he has paws” appeared on the Internet.

🔻Аccording to the other theory, this joke is even older. In the 1976 Soviet cartoon 'Птичка Тари' (Bird Tari) based on the fairy tale by Boris Zakhoder, there was a character called Crocodile. His teeth hurt, and the hero complained that he could not brush them. “But how can I brush my teeth when my legs are so short?” - he said.

- Помой посуду, пожалуйста.
- Я не могу, у меня лапки.
[ Pamoy pasudu pazhalusta. Ya ni magu u minya lapki ]
🇬🇧 - Please do the washing-up.
- I can't. I've got paws.
