    Письмо начиналось очень решительно, именно так: «Нет, я должна к тебе писать!» Потом говорено было о том, что есть тайное сочувствие между душами... Окончанье письма отзывалось даже решительным отчаяньем... Письмо было написано в духе тогдашнего времени (Гоголь 3). The letter began in a very determined tone, in these words: uNo, I really must write to you!" Then it went on to say that there was a mysterious affinity of souls... The end of the letter echoed downright despair....The letter was written in the spirit of the day (3c).
    Усугубилась его (Чернышевского) манера логических рассуждений - «в духе тёзки его тестя», как вычурно выражается Страннолюбский (Набоков 1). His (Chernyshevski's) trick of logical reasoning was intensified-"in the manner of his father-in-law's namesake," as Stran-nolyubski so whimsically puts it (1a).
    На северном хвостике косы был еще в духе Дикого Запада посёлочек, под названием Малый Бем и Копейка (Аксенов 7). At the northernmost tip of the spit was a small town called Bem-Minor-and-a-Kopeck that had a little of the Wild West in it... (7a).
    Она мне очень понравилась, эта книга («Чудо-богатырь Суворов»)... Она была составлена в патриотическом духе... (Олеша 3). That book (The Wonderful Warrior Suvorov) pleased me very much.... It was written in a patriotic spirit... (3a).

    что-то в этом духе = something like that.
    (Сарафанов:) Я подумал, что её, может быть, смущает разница в возрасте, может, боится, что её осудят, или... думает, что я настроен против... В этом духе я с ней и разговаривал, разубеждал её... (Вампилов 4). (S.:) I thought maybe she was bothered by the difference in age. Maybe she was afraid she'd be criticized...or thinks I'm against it....I talked to her along those lines, tried to convince her I wasn't against it... (4b).
    Ребров ему (Сергею Леонидовичу) что-то про справку, а тот - про то, что зол на весь мир, находится в опаснейшем, мизантропическом настроении... мы погибнем от лицемерия - и что-то ещё в таком духе (Трифонов 1). No sooner had Rebrov said something to him about the certificate than Sergei Leonidovich declared that he was mad at the whole world, that he was in an extremely negative, misanthropic mood...that hypocrisy would be our downfall-and more in the same vein (1a).
    По ленинским местам» фильм должен был называться или как-то в этом духе, я, признаться, точно не помню. А места эти, ленинские, они, как известно, в большинстве своём за рубежами нашей отчизны находятся. Потому что товарищ Ленин в своё время был тоже как бы невозвращенец (Войнович 1). I don't remember exactly what it (the film) was to be called-"In the Footsteps of Lenin"-something like that. As we know, the greater part of those footsteps occurred outside the borders of our country. Because Comrade Lenin at one time had been something of a defector himself (1a).

         ♦ Я был в духе, импровизировал разные необыкновенные истории; княжна сидела против меня и слушала мой вздор с таким глубоким, напряжённым, даже нежным вниманием, что мне стало совестно (Лермонтов 1). I was in high spirits, I improvised all kinds of extraordinary stories: the young princess sat opposite me and listened to my tosh with such deep, tense, even tender attention that I felt ashamed of myself (1a).

         ♦ Письмо начиналось очень решительно, именно так: "Нет, я должна к тебе писать!" Потом говорено было о том, что есть тайное сочувствие между душами... Окончанье письма отзывалось даже решительным отчаяньем... Письмо было написано в духе тогдашнего времени (Гоголь 3). The letter began in a very determined tone, in these words: "No, I really must write to you!" Then it went on to say that there was a mysterious affinity of souls... The end of the letter echoed downright despair....The letter was written in the spirit of the day (3c).
         ♦ Усугубилась его [Чернышевского] манера логических рассуждений - "в духе тёзки его тестя", как вычурно выражается Страннолюбский (Набоков 1).

No sooner had Rebrov said something to him about the certificate than Sergei Leonidovich declared that he was mad at the whole world, that he was in an extremely negative, misanthropic mood...that hypocrisy would be our downfall-and more in the same vein (1a).
         ♦ "По ленинским местам" фильм должен был называться или как-то в этом духе, я, признаться, точно не помню. А места эти, ленинские, они, как известно, в большинстве своём за рубежами нашей отчизны находятся. Потому что товарищ Ленин в своё время был тоже как бы невозвращенец (Войнович 1). I don't remember exactly what it [the film] was to be called-"In the Footsteps of Lenin"-something like that.

He was about to venture an explanation in the vein that having heard of Pliushkin's virtues... he had deemed it his duty to pay him his due tribute of respect in person, but he reined up in time, realizing that it would be spreading it too thickly (3c).
