i have no idea who Ivan Drago is.
however, i have some ideas about troika.
the first thing that pops into my mind is the holy Russian trinity – vodka, dark rye bread and onion for a chaser. that’s the real troika, but it can also be varied as, for example, says the name of a Slav bar in Melbourne – “vodka, borsch & tears”.
secondly, it reminds me of Soviet primary school when troika (it literally means “three of something”) was the pass grade in the 5-grade system. a guy who was keen on getting troikas was called “troishnik” (for a female it’d be “troishnitsa”). i’m sure you can find ways to use this term on some of your real life examples

Maybe Rascal Flatts’ next album could be called, “Me and My Troika”.

Do you think a male members of Troikas should be called Troikos? Then they could make up a new dance and sing a song about it called, “Lean like a Troiko”.
