      — Мне ка́жется, господа́, что вы господи́на капита́на напра́сно бы ста́ли оспа́ривать; я ду́маю, что он прав: чужезе́мные миссионе́ры положи́тельно должны́ име́ть у нас большо́й успе́х.
      — Mne kážetsja, gospodá, što vy gospodína kapitána naprásno by stáli ospárivatʹ; ja dúmaju, što on prav: čužezémnyje missionéry položítelʹno dolžný imétʹ u nas bolʹšój uspéx.
      "It appears to me, gentlemen, that you are wrong in controverting the Captain's opinion. I think he is right: the foreign missionaries will certainly have great success here in Russia."
