Chertoff in Russian--literally 'devil's'.
Here is what BioClandestine had to say:
Welp, guess I was wrong.
They hired someone else to the Disinformation Governance Board and I cannot believe they are actually this stupid.
I thought for sure they would shut it down for good, because the backlash from the public is so severe. Even the centrists are speaking out about how wrong this is.
Guess I shouldn’t be surprised they are doubling and tripling down on stupid. Here I was thinking they might have a semblance of self awareness. I actually thought they couldn’t get anymore stupid and they have proven me wrong.
I will never underestimate their incompetence again 😂
You are correct. Michael Chertoff is now to lead the Disinformation board. Ironically, the name 'Chertoff' is from the Russian word 'cert' which means 'devil'. In Russian it's pronounced like the first sound in the English for the word CHAIR.
The ending is 'off' in English. With the Russian spelling it is 'ov' pronounced the same as 'off' in English. This ending is used for a large number of words in Russian, always when the word is formed into a family name, like: Gorbachov, etc., this is extremely common in the forming of family names in Russian.
The meaning 'Chertoff' is in Russian is 'devil'.
