In Russian, mumbling means not only muttering but a kind of very cheap fruit wine since its drinking usually leads to mumbling. Contrary to this kind of alcohol, stars mark ageing of much more respective and expensive brandy.
After his unpublicized apparent death in 1976, Leonid Brezhnev, the leader of the USSR, spoke very bad. He liked awards and received one more Golden Star of National Hero from time to time, having five such stars before the death.
So, in the end of Brezhnev's era there was a popular riddle:
- What is five stars mumbling?
- It is our Secretary-General.
