СТЕРЕТЬ (ИСТЕРЕТЬ) В (МЕЛКИЙ) ПО-РОШОК кого coll VP subj: human or collect often pfv fut, used as a threat) (in refer, to killing s.o., or ruining s.o. 's career, social standing etc) to deal with s.o. harshly or destroy s.o.: X сотрёт Y-a в порошок — X will make mincemeat of Y X will pulverize Y X will grind Y to (into) dust X will grind Y into the dust X will be utterly ruthless with Y.Каждый дом, квартира... деревня, не говоря уж о городах и областях, получили своего верховода (сначала их было по несколько, потом один брал верх), который распоряжался, инструктировал, отдавал приказания и обязательно грозил стереть сопротивляющегося в порошок (Мандельштам 2). Every house, apartment, and village, not to mention every town and province, had its little tyrant (at first there would be several, until a single one took over), who gave orders and instructions, threatening always to "make mincemeat" of anyone who resisted (2a).В бесчисленных кабинетах меня уговаривали, умоляли снять свою подпись (с писем в защиту нескольких писателей), мне льстили, мне угрожали, обещали стереть меня в порошок (Войнович 1). In an endless succession of offices I was urged and entreated to withdraw my signature (from letters in defense of several writers). I was flattered, threatened - they promised to grind me to dust (1a).Все понимали, что если Королёв жертвует собой (а состояние его здоровья было всем известно), то он сотрёт в порошок всякого, кто нерасторопностью или просто неполным напряжением сил задержит подготовку хоть на минуту (Владимиров 1). They all understood that if Korolyov was sacrificing himself (and everybody knew about the state of his health) he would be utterly ruthless with anyone who through slackness or failure to make a real effort held up the preparations even by a minute (1a).
