    || X был для отвода глаз X was a diversionary move (tactic, maneuver);

         ♦ В сетку для отвода глаз бросаете кусок мыла "Кармен"... но в секции детских игрушек берете огромную резиновую рыбу, выпускаете из неё воздух, затычку прячете себе за щеку, а плоскую рыбу - себе под свитер (Аксёнов 6). As a diversionary move you throw into your basket a piece of Carmen brand soap... but in the children's toy section you pick up an enormous rubber fish, let the air out of it, then hide the plug in your mouth and the flattened fish under your sweater (6a).
         ♦ В указе говорилось о множестве жителей больших городов, которые состоят на работе для виду, для отвода глаз, а на самом деле занимаются тёмными махинациями... (Эткинд 1). The decree spoke of the large number of people living in large cities and taking on jobs for appearance' sake, to divert attention from their real and unsavory activities (1a).
         ♦ Кооператив... "важен для нас перед внешним миром, но мало значит внутри". То есть кооператив для отвода глаз, а на самом деле... "это наша альтернатива существующему строю" (Войнович 1)....A coop..."was important to us for the outside world but internally it had little meaning." In other words, the coop was a front, in fact, "it was our alternative to the existing system" (1a).
