Perestroika 

2003 hit single by Bulgarian pop star Grobis. The accompanying video was controversial for the singer’s homoerotic antics with a Vladimir Putin lookalike under the hoses of a drive-through car wash, and it occasioned a breakup between Grobis and his manager-songwriter Vadim Glebov.
(Translated from the song’s refrain)
Perestroika, perestroika, let’s build our our love upon these ruins
Lick the dust of the past from my eyes, and I will embrace you like a wizard.

perestroika 

The economical programme pioneered by Mikhail Gorbachev in 1986, including social reform in the name of glasnost, allowing more economical and political freedoms to the Soviet populace. As populary mentioned, this programme was not the cause of the collapse of the already weakened Soviet Union but merely a catalyst for that inevitable event.
Perestroika was a step in the right direction, allowing the populace of the USSR to formulate their own devices for the future, thereby collapsing the USSR atop themselves, willingly and rightfully. Hail Mikhail Gorbachev!

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
