      Тех ру́сского оконча́ния папиро́с, кото́рые он предпочти́тельно кури́л, тут не держа́ли, и он бы ушё́л без всего́, не окажи́сь у таба́чника кра́пчатого жиле́та с перламу́тровыми пу́говицами и лы́сины ты́квенного отте́нка.
      Tex rússkovo okončánija papirós, kotóryje on predpočtítelʹno kuríl, tut ne deržáli, i on by ušól bez vsevó, ne okažísʹ u tabáčnika krápčatovo žiléta s perlamútrovymi púgovicami i lýsiny týkvennovo otténka.
      This shop did not carry the Russian tipped cigarettes that he preferred, and he would have left empty-handed if it had not been for the tobacconist’s speckled vest with mother-of-pearl buttons and his pumpkin-colored bald spot.
