"Факел" у меня ассоциируется с нефтеперерабатывающими заводами...

Mark: Did you just suggest we call ourselves Team " Fart"?
I am so not voting for that one.
Otherwise, the version of Katusha I was trying to link to was one with a young blonde singer in slightly military
clothing. Less frightening :-)

How about team Фаберже? Because our team will be one precious thing, composed of many gems (so to speak...)

Hey, there's already life in our team thread! Great! And welcome to Teango and renaissancemedi!
Team Катюша would be great IMHO. Победа, успех, удача etc. aren't really creative and don't say much about the spirit of our team except that we want to win. I'd prefer a more creative and less competitive name. As I said, Катюша would be fine. Or Пушкин. I agree with Cristina that I won't vote for Team Фарт...
By the way, espejismo, would you like to become our Godfather or Guardian Angel or whatchamacallit?
EDIT: I like this version of the song.

I've already signed up for Russian, but not decided whether to join a team or go individual. As I see that there now exists an "observer status", I'd like to take the middle road and apply to be an observer in team Катюша, (or whatever you decide in the end,) if you accept me.
I guess I should announce my intentions in the sign-up thread as well?

Yeah, just to make sure you should probably inform Cavesa in the sign-up thread so she can add you to the list of teams (as soon as there will be one).
Welcome, Ogrim and also mrwarper, who just signed up!
