15 пиррова победа
книжн.- Каждому из нас ясно, что немцы могли бы ворваться в город только по нашим телам... Им пришлось бы брать с боя каждый дом, каждую баррикаду, каждую улицу. Они захлебнулись бы в собственной крови! Это была бы пиррова победа! (А. Чаковский, Блокада) — 'We are all quite convinced that the Germans could break through into the city only over our dead bodies. They would have to take every house, every barricade, every street by storm. They would choke in their own blood! It would be a Pyrrhic victory!'
