Note 35 — THE RECOLLECTIONS OF ONÉSIME CHENAPAN.
E. L. (Ethel Lillian) Voynich translation
Mr. Chenapan has again made rather a muddle of his Russian. “Zvon pobièdy, razdavaïsia!” (“Bells of victory, ring out!”) is the opening line of one of Derzhàvin’s pompous, servile, and essentially jingoish odes on the victories of Catherine II.—Translator.
