  • 21 руками и ногами

    • РУКАМИ И НОГАМИ быть за, поддерживать кого-что coll
    [NPinstrum; Invar; adv; fixed WO]
    =====
    ⇒ (to be in favor of, support s.o. or sth.) fully, very strongly:
    - one <a> hundred percent;
    - (be) all for (sth.);
    - lock, stock, and barrel.
         ♦ "Этот термин "советская власть" стал неточно употребляться. Он означает: власть депутатов трудящихся, только их одних, свободно ими изоранную и свободно ими контролируемую. Я - руками и ногами за такую власть!.." (Солженицын 2). "The term 'Soviet regime' has come to be used imprecisely. It should mean government by the soviets, by representatives of the toilers and by no one else, freely elected by the toilers and freely controlled by them. I am a hundred percent in favor of such a government!..." (2a)
