    Yes, there's no purely Russian equivalent (revenge is not in our character, I suppose, God teaches us to forgive) - we use the direct translation of that idiom. It's quite common.
    Send me a PM if you need me.

    You suppose.
    I suppose, otherwise we would have our own idiom, not just the calque from Italian. The Italians have, from the other hand, a long tradition of practicing vendetta.
