    Странно, что существует на виду, так сказать, у всех стиль Толстого с его нагромождением соподчинённых придаточных предложений (вытекающие из одного «что» несколько других «что», из одного «который» несколько следующих «которых»). По существу говоря, единственно встречающийся в русской литературе по свободе и своеобразной неправильности стиль (Олеша 3). It's strange that Tolstoy's style with its piling up of coordinate clauses (several "that's" ensuing from a single "that"
    several subsequent "whiches" issuing from a single "which") exists, so to speak, in plain view of everybody. In essence, it is the only style in Russian literature characterized by freedom and by a peculiar impropriety (3a).

    В сущности, пострадал один Платон Самсонович, первый проповедник козлотура, - его снизили в должности (Искандер 4). In point of fact, the only one who suffered was Platon Sam-sonovich, the first to advocate the goat ibex: he was demoted (4a).
