To have the Russians. To be on (her, my) Russians.
To have (the, her, my) Russians going on.
Meaning: the condition of a menstruating
woman; to have (her, my) periods.
The analogy is believed to come from the color of
blood as compared to the red color, the dominant communist color during the Soviet era. It may also come from the fact these circumstances may appear
annoying at first, although are not an obstacle or true inconvenience, when the situation calls for it (such as the need or craving for doing sports or having sex).
