Russian term or phrase: (еще игра смыслов)
заголовок:
«Бочкарев» до Сочи доведет

и дальше --
Самый короткий путь в Сочи лежит через желудок!

т.е. аллюзии к "язык до Киева доведет" и "путь к сердцу мужчины-бла-бла-бла".

вот как бы это обыграть?..

спасибо заранее

Explanation:
Я сторонник "обходных маневров" - понятно, что название города Сочи менее известно, чем, например, Багамы. А заголовок лучше оформить как лозунг. (IMHO, конечно)

Хм!


Explanation:
Не знаю, насколько аллюзии в сторону "языка, доводящего до Киева", будут понятны англоязычной аудитории. А вот что-то типа "All the roads lead to Rome. With Bochkarev, they lead to Sochi", возможно, прокатит.
Слоган с желудком мне не того (IMHO), но референции в сторону желужка понятны всем. The way to Sochi goes via your stomach! Хотя правильнее, наверное, было бы сказать via your bladder ;-0.
Кстати (из старого), на каком-то английском радио проводился конкурс между женщинами: лучший способ удержать мужчину. Победила фраза "Эту скотину надо лучше кормить".

Explanation:
По аналогии с:
All roads leaf to Rome
and
... The shortest way to a man's heart goes through his stomach, particularly
if his girl tells him that he was too thin" (юмор)

А вообще-то неуклюжие фразы даже в русском языке.
