    That's terrible, and darkly amusing.

    That's terrible because the translator has poor command of the Russian language. In this case he said "Извиняться мы не собираемся - нам не перед кем извиняться" - i.e. "they have no right to demand appologies".

    As for "Хотели как лучше, а получилось как всегда". Chernomyrdin didn't invent the phrase- he just popularised it on TV. I heard this humorous phrase long before Chernomyrdin.
