Takogo Kak Putin
"Takogo, kak Putin!" (russian: Такого, как Путин!; "One like Putin"; commonly translated as "A man like Putin") is a 2002 Russian propaganda pop song written by (Александр Елин) and performed by the all-girl band Poyushchie vmeste. The song, written during the first term of Russian president Vladimir Putin (2000–2004), sarcastically idealises Putin; however, contrary to the song's satirical intentions, the song was officially used by Putin's 2004 re-election campaign, and the satirical undertones were largely unnoticed and ignored by the Russian populace. The song was a one-hit wonder and is considered one of the most notable songs in the cult of personality surrounding Putin. Origin Alexander Yelin, a musician known for his work with the Soviet/Russian heavy metal band Aria, wrote the composition and lyrics for the song based on a cynical $300 bet that he would be able to make a popular hit with the right message and without a large budget.

Rhyme Scheme

It is usually referred to by using letters to indicate which lines rhyme; lines designated with the same letter all rhyme with each other. An example of the ABAB rhyming scheme, from "To Anthea, who may Command him Anything", by Robert Herrick: Function in writing These rhyme patterns have various effects, and can be used to: * Control flow: If every line has the same rhyme (AAAA), the stanza will read as having a very quick flow, whereas a rhyme scheme like ABCABC can be felt to unfold more slowly. * Structure a poems message and thought patterns: For example, a simple couplet with a rhyme scheme of AABB lends itself to simpler direct ideas, because the resolution comes in the very next line. Essentially these couplets can be thought of as self-contained statements.

Fighter Jet
Fighter aircraft are fixed-wing military aircraft designed primarily for air-to-air combat. In military conflict, the role of fighter aircraft is to establish air superiority of the battlespace. Domination of the airspace above a battlefield permits bombers and attack aircraft to engage in tactical and strategic bombing of enemy targets. The key performance features of a fighter include not only its firepower but also its high speed and maneuverability relative to the target aircraft. The success or failure of a combatant's efforts to gain air superiority hinges on several factors including the skill of its pilots, the tactical soundness of its doctrine for deploying its fighters, and the numbers and performance of those fighters. Many modern fighter aircraft also have secondary capabilities such as ground attack and some types, such as fighter-bombers, are designed from the outset for dual roles.

Bond Girl
A Bond girl is a character who is a love interest or female companion of James Bond in a novel, film or video game. Bond girls occasionally have names that are double entendres or puns, such as Pussy Galore, Plenty O'Toole, Xenia Onatopp, or Holly Goodhead. A Bond girl can also refer to the female lead in the films, such as Ursula Andress, Honor Blackman or Sophie Marceau. There is no set rule on what kind of person a Bond girl will be or what role she will play. She may be an ally or an enemy of Bond, pivotal to the mission or simply there for her looks. There are female characters such as Judi Dench's M, and Camille Montes, a Bolivian intelligence agent who teams up with Bond in '' Quantum of Solace'', who are not romantic interests of Bond, and hence not strictly Bond girls. However, it has been argued that M's pivotal role in the plot of ''Skyfall'' qualifies her as a Bond girl or Bond woman. The term ''Bond girl'' may also be considered as an anachronism, with so ...
