I don't know but I do know the Russian word for syphilis.

In which way does that mean something and what in this context?

I you get your wand a maxim off, you could conceivably catch Russian syphilis.

I tend to avoid syphilitic Russians at all cost.

This seems not much to do with my post though, but ok.

In 1974, it was said their parents are Golden Age heroes Bob Frank / Whizzer and Madeline Joyce Frank / Miss America. Wanda then refers to herself as Wanda Frank for a time. In 1979, they are revealed to have been raised by human Romani parents, Django and Marya Maximoff.
