Hillary Clinton Lavrov gaffe: Clinton’s gift to Lavrov (photo)

By Clarencia Cynrae on March 7th, 2009



Hillary Clinton presented a present to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Friday, March 6. The gift was a button with two words. One word in English is “Reset”. The other word in Russian is “Peregruzka”.

Clinton had intended to convey the message that America would like to reset their relationship with Russia. Peregruzka means overcharged and not reset to peace. The typo will be reset to Perezagruzka, which means reset.
