Oops... Thanks. ☺

@Marina, would the Russian also mean:
They simply need a scapegoat.

I think so. But "scapegoat" has a more exact translation as "козёл отпущения".

Yes, I know.
But I believe that I can add the other translation (with "scapegoat") as yet another variant for my first one. I'm not sure, though (so for the time being I'm not adding it).

OK, I re-read your comment. So, you believe it can be added as yet another variant.

Yes, I think you can.
