During the phone-call scene between President Lyndon B. Johnson and Premier Nikita Khrushchev, Johnson mentions that the Russians refer to The Boss as "Voyevoda."

"Voyevoda" is a Russian word for "warrior", "knight in training" or "leader of an organisation", and can refer to someone in the military or government with a degree of power. When used in regards to a female, it can also mean "lady knight." As Russia has had a number of famous queens in its history, this is considered a highly respectful nickname for The Boss.
