    Уносить ноги

    Выводить кого-либо из себя

    And never ever use translate.google.com or similar automatic translation services. They never help.
    Use dictionaries.
    Send me a PM if you need me.

    Multitran's translation isn't too good for уносить ноги. Nobody says "disappear/run/etc. into the woodwork."

    Уносить ноги = take to one's heels

    Выводить (кого) из себя = annoy or vex somebody


    (что) не выходит из головы = to have obsession (about something) in mind

    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.
