     Лё́вин попро́бовал отпи́ть ко́фе и положи́ть кала́ч в рот, но рот его́ реши́тельно не знал, что де́лать с калачо́м.

     Ljóvin popróboval otpítʹ kófe i položítʹ kaláč v rot, no rot jevó rešítelʹno ne znal, što délatʹ s kalačóm.

     Levin tried to drink coffee and put some roll in his mouth, but his mouth was quite at a loss what to do with the roll.
