      Чи́чиков подошёл к ру́чке Феоду́лии Ива́новны, кото́рую она́ почти́ впихну́ла ему́ в гу́бы, причём он име́л слу́чай заме́тить, что ру́ки бы́ли вы́мыты огуре́чным рассо́лом.
      Číčikov podošól k rúčke Feodúlii Ivánovny, kotóruju oná počtí vpixnúla jemú v gúby, pričóm on imél slúčaj zamétitʹ, što rúki býli výmyty oguréčnym rassólom.
