When about to leave, he let his eye rest for a moment on my officer's sword, with its red St Anne sword-knot "for bravery," which hung forlornly on the empty summer hat-stand, and, so it seemed to me, a pained smile crossed his lips. No wonder. The city was occupied by enemy troops, and here, hung up challengingly for all to see, were the arms of a Russian officer! (3a).
         ♦ "Впрочем, мы друг друга понять не можем; я по крайней мере не имею чести вас понимать". - "Ещё бы! - воскликнул Базаров. - Человек всё в состоянии понять - и как трепещет эфир и что на солнце происходит; а как другой человек может иначе сморкаться, чем он сам сморкается, этого он понять не в состоянии" (Тургенев 2). "We cannot understand one another; or, at least, I have not the honour of understanding you." "Of course not!" exclaimed Bazarov. "Man is capable of understanding everything-the vibration of ether and what's going on in the sun; but why another person should blow his nose differently from him-that, he's incapable of understanding" (2c).

         ♦ "Не нужно нам никакой квартиры, - сказал Дмитриев задыхающимся голосом. - Не нужно, понятно тебе? Во всяком случае, мне не нужно" (Трифонов 4). "We don't need any apartment at all," said Dmitriev in a choked voice. "We don't need it, you understand? In any case / don't need it" (4a).
         ♦...Никто у него в семье не был [в 1937 году] посажен или убит и палачей - явных, во всяком случае, - не определялось (Аксёнов 12)....No one in his family had been imprisoned or killed [in 1937] and there were no executioners - obvious ones, anyway - recruited from among his kin (12a).

         ♦ От Коровьева и Бегемота несло гарью, рожа Бегемота была в саже, а кепка наполовину обгорела. "Салют, мессир", - прокричала неугомонная парочка... "Очень хороши", - сказал Воланд... "Во всяком случае, мы явились, мессир, - докладывал Коровьев, - и ждём ваших распоряжений" (Булгаков 9). Koroviev and Behemoth reeked of smoke, Behemoth's face was sooty, and his cap badly singed "Salute, Messire!" cried the irrepressible pair...."A fine pair," said Woland. "In any case, we've come, Messire," reported Koroviev, "and we are waiting for your orders" (9a).
         ♦ "Значит, он миллионер?" - "Во всяком случае, за расходами не стоит" (Войнович 3). "Then he's a millionaire?" "At any rate, he doesn't spare expense" (3a).
         ♦ Возможно, он [архитектор III.] сам спровоцировал запрет барельефа. Возможно, сразу согласился. Возможно, не очень энергично отстаивал. Во всяком случае, теперь сотрудничество с тобой повредило бы его положению и карьере (Зиновьев 1). "Probably he [the architect S.] provoked the banning of the bas-relief himself. Probably he was the first to agree to it. Probably he defended it without any great conviction. At all events, working with you would have damaged his professional position" (1a).
         ♦ Знал ли он [Маяковский] о моём восторженном отношении к нему? Во всяком случае, между нами порой среди той или иной собравшейся группы литераторов устанавливался бессловесный контакт... (Олеша 3). Was he [Mayakovsky] aware of my rapturous regard for him?
