"Suvok" is a dustpan (dustbin) in Russian.
In its simplest form, "Suvok" means to be a Soviet Citizen. The Soviet Union is "Советский Союз", Sovetskiy Soyuz "Советский Grajidin" (Soviet Union) is what they used to say, and a lot of old Russians took pride in that. Even after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the old mentality Russians today say:
This is a classic line by the elderly.
Although currently not used by the general Russian population, "Suvok" can explain heartless Muscovites today, the majority of those who have economic and political power. These "Suvok" will never say:
...They can't because it is a sign of weakness.
The most obvious historical reason behind the Suvok mentality is this: This suspicious mentality is understandable because most of the Soviet period everyone was against everyone. A Soviet citizen couldn't say anything in front of your children because they would blurt it out in school and that would be at best 25 years in the Gulag.
