Usage examples of "смутьян" in Russian with translation to English

<>
Всегда такая степенная и холодная, в одно мгновение она повторила ритм струн свинга Луизианских болот, а в следующее мгновение воспоминание о концерте в Олимпии, так близко, но пол века спустя, где грубоватый смутьян перевернул десятки тысяч сердец. Usually so staid and cold, it echoed to the rhythm of strings with the swing of the Louisiana bayous at one moment, and at the next with the memory of the concert at the Olympia, so close but a half-century away, where the saturnine firebrand upended ten thousand hearts.
Это доморощенная инициатива, однако ее возникновению способствовали некоторые известные американские консерваторы, включая печально известного смутьяна Скотта Лайвли (Scott Lively), известного тесными связями с авторами угандийского законопроекта «Смерть геям», а также книгой, в которой он возлагает на заговор геев вину за Холокост. This kind of anti-gay blowback is homegrown, but it’s also been given a push by a number of high-profile American conservatives, including notorious firebrand Scott Lively, known for both his close relationship with the authors of the “Kill the Gays” bill in Uganda and his book blaming the Holocaust on a gay conspiracy.
Близок к "азартному игроку" политический "смутьян", который удовлетворяет свои непомерные амбиции любой ценой, несмотря на риск и независимо от того, во что это обходится другим. The gambler's close kin is the political "troublemaker," who pursues his soaring ambitions by any means necessary, whatever the risks and regardless of the cost to others.

What is translation in context on PROMT.One

The “Contexts” section on PROMT.One is your translation-in-context tool that helps you find real examples of how words and phrases are used. Just enter a word and the service will show its translation in context — sentences from bilingual sources where this word is used together with its translation into the target language. This helps you understand subtle shades of meaning and correct usage in speech, whether it is a rare term or a common everyday phrase.

Millions of usage examples from real texts

Millions of translation examples are collected automatically from already translated texts: documents, websites, books, movie dialogues and more. Thanks to this, you can see a word in different situations — from formal business style to everyday colloquial speech. For convenience, the results can be filtered by a specific translation or topic, and you can also search within the examples found to quickly focus on the context you need.

How translation in context helps you learn a language
