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!

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
