Russian term or phrase: минусы-плюсы
Они прошли мимо меня с полным равнодушием. Мне показалось, что им было страшно видеть эту сторону жизни. Эту горькую сторону жизни, которую я выбрал исключительно от отчаяния. Место, где я находился, было невидимым для них. Они возлагали на жизнь большие надежды. В наше время такая сентиментальная молодёжь вызывает удивление. Особенно у того, кто лежит на рельсах…
— Ау-у, слышите меня, **минусы-плюсы,** Ромео и Джульетты, удостойте взглядом эти рельсы. У жизни есть и такая сторона…
Они сделали вид, что не слышат его. И быстрыми шагами скрылись из виду.


I have no clue what he means. :(

yin-yang/two peas in a pod


Explanation:
Yin-Yang even hyphenates like the plus-minus.
ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
Yin is characterized as slow, soft, yielding, diffuse, cold, wet, and passive; and is associated with water, earth, the moon, femininity, and nighttime. Yang, by contrast, is fast, hard, solid, focused, hot, dry, and active; and is associated with fire, sky, the sun, masculinity and daytime.

Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary (rather than opposing) forces that interact to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts. Everything has both yin and yang aspects (for instance, shadow cannot exist without light)
