خلفية ثقافية

In Russian business culture, 'взять под контроль' is a power phrase. Saying this in a meeting shows you are ready for a promotion. The phrase is heavily used in bureaucracy. If an official says a problem is 'под контролем', it usually means they are working on it (or want you to think they are). There is a strong emphasis on 'self-control' (самоконтроль) in Russian upbringing. Taking one's emotions 'под контроль' is seen as a sign of maturity. Russian news headlines almost always use this phrase during natural disasters to reassure the public.
