      Увлечённая свои́ми но́выми мы́слями, Ве́ра Семёновна дока́зывала, что рабо́та, в кото́рую был погружён её брат, есть предрассу́док, тще́тная попы́тка консервати́вных умо́в продолжа́ть то, что уже́ сослужи́ло свою́ слу́жбу и уже́ схо́дит со сце́ны.
      Uvlečónnaja svoími nóvymi mýsljami, Véra Semjónovna dokázyvala, što rabóta, v kotóruju byl pogružón jejó brat, jestʹ predrassúdok, tščétnaja popýtka konservatívnyx umóv prodolžátʹ to, što užé soslužílo svojú slúžbu i užé sxódit so scény.
      Carried away by her new ideas, Vera Semyonovna proved that the work that her brother was so engrossed in was conventional, that it was a vain effort of conservative minds to preserve what had already served its turn and was vanishing from the scene of action.
