1 tighten one's grip on smth.
укрепить свою власть над чем-л.; ≈ зажать в тискиAt the same time the northern bankers and industrial monopolies tightened their grip on southern economic life to extract superprofits from the oppressed Negro people and to a lesser extent from southern white workers and sharecroppers cut off from Negroes by economic favoritism and racist propaganda. (V. Perlo, ‘American Imperialism’, ch. IV) — В то же время банкиры и промышленные монополии Севера все больше зажимали в тиски экономическую жизнь Юга, чтобы извлекать сверхприбыли прежде всего за счет эксплуатации угнетенного негритянского народа и в меньшей степени путем эксплуатации белых рабочих и издольщиков Юга, которые вследствие сравнительно лучших экономических условий и расистской пропаганды были разобщены с неграми.
The leading circles of finance capital, who substantially agreed on the strategy of unlimited expansion, had to tighten their grip on the state apparatus. (V. Perlo, ‘American Imperialism’, ch. VI) — Руководящие круги финансового капитала, которые в основном согласны между собой относительно стратегии неограниченной экспансии, укрепили свою власть над государственным аппаратом.
