    «Володя, не нужно падать духом. Я тоже часто бываю в таком состоянии» (Эренбург 3). "Don't lose heart, Volodya. I often do myself..." (3a).
    Шалико почувствовал, что её (Хикур) внезапный отъезд не к добру... Неужели она забеременела и, как сестра её, ничего не сказав ему, уехала в деревню?!.. Ничего, главное не падать духом, сказал он себе... (Искандер 4). Shaliko had sensed that Khikur's sudden departure meant trouble....Could she really have gotten pregnant and gone off to the country without saying anything to him, just like her sister?...Never mind, whatever you do, don't lose courage, he told himself... (4a).
    He находил Едигей ответа, сокрушался, переживал, падал духом и снова обнадеживал себя безнадёжными грёзами... (Айтматов 2). Finding no answer to his dilemma, he (Yedigei) was overwhelmed, suffered and became downhearted and tried once more to raise his hopes with hopeless dreams... (2a).

И, спасаясь из этого состояния, 13-го сентября правительство сняло глушение западных передач... И как же взбодрилось наше общество, так недавно столь упавшее духом, что даже отказалось от Самиздата! (Солженицын 2). All in all, the force of the West's angry reaction (to the vicious press campaign against Sakharov and Solzhenitsyn) was a surprise to everyone: to the West itself...and even more of a surprise to our rulers....On 13 September the government tried to escape from this situation by putting a stop to jamming.... How it cheered our public, who just a little while ago had been so demoralized that they had even given up samizdat (2a)
