Gesture of a good will is a term which in Russian military slang means decisive military defeat and the retreat that follows from a defeat. As admitting any sort of defeat is a taboo in Russian military one needs to use euphimisms in order to avoid admitting unpleasant facts.
Once an euphimism becomes widely mocked they switch to new ones. Later examples are "regrouping" and "withdrawal to more favorble frontiers".

Making a nice (fake) gesture for someone when you don't really mean it, hoping that the person who you are making that gesture to won't actually as you for a favor, or follow up on that offer you made. You just say it to seem like a nice person. This phrase is used in Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Larry David: Well, If there is anything I can do, let me know.

Marty Funkhouser: What, you didn't mean it?
Larry David: Of course not!
Marty Funkhouser: Well why did you say it then?
Larry David: You know, it's an empty gesture; something to say!
Larry David (saying to Jeff Greene): Don't make an empty gesture to a Funkhouser, they'll take you up on it!
