The politicians hiding behind the Kremlin’s walls will regret their actions and beg for mercy from the feminists they wronged.
  
  Note: The use of the word klin as wedge could also intentionally echo the famous 1919 Soviet propaganda poster “Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge!” (Klinom krasnym bey belykh) created by Lazar Markovich Lissitzky (see below). Considered an example of the Russian art movement and philosophy of Constructivism, the red wedge is supposed to symbolize the Bolsheviks’ dominating power while the white circle being invaded is representative of the failing White movement of the Russian Civil War.
