Russian term or phrase: Щенок
Помогите, пожалуйста, перевести из того же ролика: https://youtu.be/pINBn62HLjY?t=28s

Вариантов много в словаре. Но обычно когда активистов называют "малолетками" или "сопляками", я пишу "punks". Не знаю, подходит ли в данном случае такой термин. Подскажите, пожалуйста.

neutral  LilianNekipelov: not really, not equivalent.
4 hrs
  -> This doesn't have to be an "equivalent" (as there can hardly be one in the given context). The objective here (I am sure most of the colleagues would agree) is to come up with a viable alternative and try to make sure it sounds natural and convincing.
