      Неловко повернувшись на печи, я свалил утюг; загремев по ступеням влаза, он шлёпнулся в лохань с помоями.
      Nelovko povernuvšisʹ na peči, ja svalil utjug; zagremev po stupenjam vlaza, on šljópnulsja v loxanʹ s pomojami.
      I turned clumsily on my perch on the stove and knocked an iron over. It clattered down the small ladder and fell into the sink with a loud splash.
