: Gratuitous and no reflection of the original. Don't hide, Sergei. If F*** words are suitable, do use them. It's just that khimiya has nothing to do with such words. No offence intended.

get some good chemistry going (between us)
Chancellor Merkel is a physicist not a chemist but this expression makes me think of the English idiom, often said about romantic couples but also about other people who work well together: they have good chemsitry."
I believe this is the thrust of Pres. Putin's comment (and for practice, non-native speakers are invited to find the other double entendre in my explanation.)

: See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Merkel for further details: she was a physical chemist etc., which makes the play on words work better.

: The best! Why? 1Chemistry as as foundation of love is very popular. 2. "concoct" mostly has negative connotation -see www.multitran.ru

Thank you. Yes, when unsure, I tend to look for the ProZ answer most consistently luaded by native speakers of the target language.
