moujik

1 The physician dragged him hastily within, and slammed the door, just as two moujiks—drunken leaders of the chase—lurched past.

2 The moujiks of great estates toiled for them, and from the days of their great-great-grandfathers the revenues had never ceased.

3 Later those bags came in hundreds of miles over the winter snow roads, hauled by shaggy ponies driven by hairy, weather-beaten moujiks.

4 The Russian moujik in winter has his frowsy sheepskin coat, and the Russian prince imitates it in costly furs.

5 Were they the wretched moujiks, so many of whom armed themselves against the wounded of the Grand Army when it fled from Russia?

6 It was very bitter to me to leave my Fatherland, but as the moujik says: 'Necessity brings everything.'

7 There was but a small garrison left; I doubt if they would have moved a finger in any case; and so the moujiks took their own way, and my father—went to his reward.

8 Nor is it the guilty sense of Raskolnikov that impels this moujik to confession and reparation.

9 Gorki portrays the much-belauded moujik as a pitiable money-grubber, a detestable associate, who loses all higher motives in his struggle for the means of existence.

10 What is the life of a moujik worth?

11 The twelve Israelitish families of Togarog found sufficient relaxation and entertainment in their own circle, and did not in the least yearn after the boisterous and uncivil companionship of Russian moujiks.

12 They all desire it, gospodar, from the Grand Duke in his beautiful palace to the moujik in his cellar—they all desire my lovely book!

13 At mid-day they stopped before a peasant's hut, in the doorway of which a moujik stood, wrapped in sheepskin and with long and shaggy hair and beard.

14 They wore no regulation uniform, but were clad in much the same attire as an ordinary moujik--knee leather boots and high hats of gray and black curled fur.

15 The floor of the room was crowded with dancers; sturdy, square-faced moujiks in high boots; and their sweethearts in kerchiefs and short skirts.

16 Left to himself, the simple moujik hits upon some very practical ideas.

17 There is another custom connected with the bath which testifies to the hardy character of the Russian moujik.

18 This is the house of the moujik Serges.

19 The moujik who drifts into the City proletariat suffers from the life that whispers its secrets within and around him.

20 The peasant, the moujik, is to be the criterion of art, an art which, in that case, ought to be a cross between fireworks and the sign-writing of the Aztecs.
