    ИЗ-ПОД ПОЛЫ coll PrepP Invar adv
    1. продавать, покупать, торговать - (in refer, to the illegal sale or purchase of sth.) (to sell, buy sth., trade) secretly, stealthily: (from) under the counter
    on the black market.
    Ибанцы (nonce word) обожают иностранцев... И всё иностранное ибанцы тоже любят. Во-первых, потому, что оно дороже и достать его труднее. Доставать-то приходится из-под полы втридорога, во-вторых, в иностранном сам себя чувствуешь чуть-чуть иностранцем и чуть-чуть за границей (Зиновьев 1). (The) Ibanskians adore foreigners....And the Ibanskians love everything foreign. First of all because foreign goods are dearer and harder to find. They have to come from under the counter at three times the price. Secondly, if you're wearing foreign clothes you feel just a little bit foreign, just a little bit as if you were abroad (1a).
    Жители Савёлова работали на заводе, а кормились рекой - рыбачили и из-под полы продавали рыбу (Мандельштам 1). The inhabitants of Savelovo worked mainly at the nearby factory, but they got a livelihood from the river by catching fish and selling it on the black market (1a).
    2. (to do sth.) furtively, secretly
    in secret
    under cover on the sly (in limited contexts) underhanded(ly) underhand.
    Мы видели её (статью) однажды на кафедре, уже жёлтую, с потрёпанными ушами... Она там хранилась, по-видимому, как беспрецедентный случай. Ею гордились, не перечитывая, и кое-кому, из-под полы, показывали (Битов 2). We saw it (the article) once at the department, already yellow and dog-eared. It was apparently being preserved there as an unprecedented case. They were proud of it, although they didn't reread it, and they showed it to a few people on the sly (2a).
    Роман («Доктор Живаго») в рукописи несколько лет ходил в Москве по рукам, официально обсуждался в наших редакциях... В чем же был криминал? Все делалось не тайком, не из-под полы, а открыто... (Гладков 1). The novel (Doctor Zhivago) had been circulating in Moscow in manuscript copies for several years, it had been officially under consideration by Soviet publishers... What, then, was so criminal in Pasternak's case? There was nothing secretive or underhand here, it was all done quite openly... (1a).
