Examples
Во вся́кое перехо́дное вре́мя подыма́ется э́та сволочь, кото́рая есть в ка́ждом о́бществе, и уже не только безо вся́кой цели, но даже не имея и при́знака мы́сли, а лишь выражая собою изо всех сил беспоко́йство и нетерпе́ние.
In every period of transition this riff-raff, which exists in every society, rises to the surface, and is not only without any aim but has not even a symptom of an idea, and merely does its utmost to give expression to uneasiness and impatience.
