krassian
A short pronunciation term for Kremlin Russians, that are the leading governmental power of (now) Russian Federation.
It is recommended to use the original eastern pronunciation of the word: "kray-sian" instead of popular west pronunciation of "rush-ahn".
This is an ideological term that helps to emphasize that it does not mention the Russian people as a whole, but rather the oligarchy in power.
As oddly as it sounds, the term itself has sometimes shortened itself into "крыса" (kraessa), meaning "rat" in Russian.
