      Этой зимой по аллеям мела какая-то совершенно степная метель, и, попадись мне навстречу пара волков, я совершенно не удивился бы.
      Etoj zimoj po allejam mela kakaja-to soveršenno stepnaja metelʹ, i, popadisʹ mne navstreču para volkov, ja soveršenno ne udivilsja by.
      This winter the avenues were scoured by a blizzard straight off the steppes, and I should not have been in the least surprised to have come face to face with a pair of wolves during the course of my walk.
