Russian term

выпинывать

Russian to English Other Slang Dodgy business
После выпинывания Mr Smirnov объем экспорта за год возрос на 123 тысяч тонн нефти, что принесло ABC Limited 516 млн. долларов чистой прибыли.

I'm guessing this means something like removal, can't quite find the root of the word to pick up on the nuance.

Alexandra Taggart Oct 8, 2010:
"выпинывать" is a crooked "выпихивать" to eject not without much of effort. Like a cuckoo chick does to its siblings when hatched.
Vitali Stanisheuski Oct 8, 2010:
Да, тут в смысле "вытолкать пинками". Просматривается множественность, т.е. или его многие пинали и наконец выпинали, или его кто-то неоднократно и долго пинал, пока наконец не выпинал. Или все вместе.
Ассоциация с пинками под зад. Kick, kick out и т.п.

Thanks Zamira Then 'to boot out' probably fits perfectly.
Zamira B. Oct 8, 2010:
от слова "пинать" (give the boot)

after Mr Smirnov had been kicked out

Thanks to Zamira for the explanation! If you think that's a bit colloquial, "enforced removal" or "expulsion" might do it.

muscled out

Booted out is a good literal translation. If you want to add a bit of colour, I would say muscled out - that's how you'd say it in English.

I associate being booted/kicked out with a school/club or other social group.

neutral Angela Greenfield : I do agree with you, but this version was already suggested earlier by two other colleagues. We normally don't post our answer if someone else came up with this idea before us. Thank you.
