      Улы́бка вдруг исче́зла с лица́ Ряби́нина. Ястреби́ное, хи́щное и жёсткое выраже́ние установи́лось на нём.
      Ulýbka vdrug isčézla s licá Rjabínina. Jastrebínoje, xíščnoje i žóstkoje vyražénije ustanovílosʹ na njom.
      The smile vanished at once from Ryabinin's face. A hawklike, greedy, cruel expression was left upon it.
