    1. (to happen, occur etc) without any outside influence or interference:
    - automatically.
         ♦ Дойдя на Севере до Архангельска... [куриный] мор остановился сам собой по той причине, что идти ему дальше было некуда, - в Белом море куры, как известно, не водятся (Булгаков 10). Having reached Archangel...in the North, the [chicken] plague stopped by itself, for the reason that there was nowhere for it to go-as everybody knows, there are no hens in the White Sea (10b).
         ♦ Про кампанию оппозиции забудут, и она задохнётся сама собой (Зиновьев 1). "The campaign for protest will be forgotten and it'll wither away on its own" (1a).
         ♦ Князь Андрей, точно так же как и все люди полка, нахмуренный и бледный, ходил взад и вперёд по лугу... Делать и приказывать ему нечего было. Всё делалось само собою. Убитых оттаскивали за фронт, раненых относили, ряды смыкались (Толстой 6). Prince Andrei, pale and depressed like everyone else in the regiment, paced up and down from one border to another on the meadow....There were no orders to be given, nothing for him to do. Everything happened of itself. The dead were dragged back from the front, the wounded carried away, and again the ranks closed up (5a).
         ♦ Мнили, что во время этой гульбы хлеб вырастет сам собой, и потому перестали возделывать поля (Салтыков-Щедрин 1). They imagined that while this gaiety was going on, the corn would grow of its own accord, and they gave up tilling the fields (1b).
         ♦ " Нож", - крикнул Филипп Филиппович. Нож вскочил ему в руки как бы сам собой... (Булгаков 11). "Knife," cried Philip Philippovich. The knife leaped into his hands as of its own volition... (11a).
         ♦ О его сборничке так никто и не написал, - он почему-то полагал, что это само собою сделается, и даже не потрудился разослать редакциям... (Набоков 1). His book of poems did not get any reviews after all (somehow he had assumed it would happen automatically and had not even taken the trouble of sending out review copies...) (1a).
    2. сам собою додумался до чего, добился чего и т.п. obsoles (one came up with an idea or solution, achieved sth. etc) independently, without anyone's help:
    - (all) by o.s.
         ♦ [Городничий:] О, я знаю вас: вы если начнёте говорить о сотворении мира, просто волосы дыбом поднимаются. [Аммос Фёдорович:] Да ведь сам собою дошёл... (Гоголь 4). [Mayor:] Oh I know you. When you start spouting your crazy theories of the Creation, it's enough to make a man's hair stand on end. [A.E:] But I arrived at it all by myself... (4f).

Я бы его [пастуха], который мне дудочку принес, жалела..." (Чуковская 2). "Were I a princess," she said in singsong voice, like a peasant woman telling a fairy story, "I would not be wicked...I would not have taken his pipe away from him, I would have blown on it once-just for fun....I would have had pity on the shepherd-boy who brought me the pipe..." (2a).
         ♦ Взял дед свои [ карты] в руки - смотреть не хочется, такая дрянь, хоть бы на смех один козырь (Гоголь 5). Grandad picked up his [cards]- he couldn't bear to look at them, they were such trash; they could have at least given him one trump just for the fun of it (5a).
         ♦ Я сам один раз для хохмы пустил такой слушок про Претендента (Зиновьев 1). "Once, just for a joke, I started a rumour like that about Claimant" (1a).
         ♦ "Раз, для смеха, Григорий Александрович обещался ему [Азамату] дать червонец, коли он ему украдет лучшего козла из отцовского стада" (Лермонтов 1). "Once, for a laugh, Grigory promised to give him [Azamat] ten rubles if he would steal the best goat from his father's flock" (Id).
