Калачёв фамилий ( ungrammat - фамилия)...» Пожалуй, Влад и до этого знал: такими калачёвыми земля держится, но только теперь... при всем уважении к ним - этим калачёвым, - с горечью усвоил, что ими же держится и всякая на земле неправда. Мы люди маленькие. Наша хата с краю. До Бога высоко, до царя далеко... Вот набор их нехитрых истин, под которые они тянут своё ярмо через всю жизнь... (Максимов 2). "Back home they call me Ivan Akimych. Kalachev's my last name...." Vlad already knew that it was Kalachev and his kind who keep the globe turning, but only now, with all due respect to the Kalachevs of this world, has he come to the sad realization that it is they who also enable all forms of injustice to flourish. We're only small folk. It's no concern of ours. God's too high to help us, the tsar's too far away....This is the sum total of the simple-minded truths with the aid of which they drag their yoke through life... (2a)....Скорее всего, это было проявлением особого советского этикета, который твердо соблюдался нашим народом в течение многих десятилетий: раз начальство ссылает, значит - так и надо, а моя хата с краю... (Мандельштам 1). Most probably it was a case of the peculiar Soviet etiquette that has been carefully observed for several decades now: if the authorities are sending someone into exile, all well and good, it's none of our business (1a).Abbreviated version of the saying «Моя хата с краю, (я) ничего не знаю» ("My hut is set apart, and I don't know anything").
