Golden Youth

Дословный, но имеющий право на существование вариант.

Best example for that could be found in novel Zlatni mladić ("Golden Youth"), a character study of a young man born in privileged capitalist family who gets away with all kinds of crimes. The novel was so popular that the phrase zlatna mladež ("golden youths") entered Croatian vocabulary and was reintroduced in 1990s in order to describe spoiled children of post-Communist nouveau riche.

The column, in addition to critically evaluating nightlife venues, describes the hedonistic nocturnal adventures of its fictional author, a member of Russia's new young cultural elite called the golden youth (золотая молодёжь).

neutral Irene N : Все ссылки - произведения ненативов. Абсолютно неверное употребление. Golden имеет значение "золотой фонд"
