Может быть, когда я попаду в настоящую Русь, — это пройдёт и я снова получу способность упиваться великорусским духом: — но теперь мне противно.

Так как поезд в Москву идёт только в 3 часа, — то я взял № в гостинице «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Европа&amp;#039;&amp;#039;» и сейчас начну совершать омовения. Переезд от Вены сюда не особенно долог и утомителен, — между тем я устал (т. е. не телом, а напряжением нервов) ужасно. Никогда ещё мне не было так противно возвращаться в отечество, как в этот раз. Уж не предчувствие ли это, что я из него больше никогда не выеду? Русские артельщики — показались мне какими-[то] наглыми калмыками,	жандармы — медведями, курносые чиновники, осматривавшие ехидно мой багаж и потом явившиеся в ресторан и с шикарною небрежностью хватавшие что попало с буфета, — всё они возбуждали во мне желание нанести им какую-нибудь неприятность. Может быть, когда я попаду в настоящую Русь, — это пройдёт и я снова получу способность упиваться великорусским духом: — но теперь мне противно. Ещё 2 суток ехать!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Since the train to [[Moscow]] doesn&amp;#039;t leave until 3 o&amp;#039;clock, I&amp;#039;ve taken a room at the &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Europe&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Hotel, and I&amp;#039;m just about to start to perform my ablutions. The journey here from [[Vienna]] isn&amp;#039;t particularly long or tiring, but I was awfully tired (i.e. not physically, but from nervous tension). Never before have I been so disgusted returning to my fatherland as I have been this time. Isn&amp;#039;t this a premonition that I&amp;#039;ll never leave it again? The Russian porters seemed to me like the most arrogant Kalmucks, the bear-like gendarmes, the snub-nosed officials who disdainfully inspected my luggage, and then rolled up at the restaurant and with stylish nonchalance grabbed whatever was on the buffet — all of them filled me with a desire to inflict some sort of unpleasantness upon them. Perhaps when I reach Rus proper, this will pass, and I&amp;#039;ll regain the ability to rejoice in the Great Russian spirit — but for now I&amp;#039;m disgusted. Still 2 more days to go!&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Just now they brought me tea, and instead of the the brown foreign brew, a coloured liquid {{...}} poured from the teapot — horrible; they brought &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;The Voice&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;, and when I saw this quintessence of Petersburgism, it was so unnatural and revolting. Italy was a hundredfold nicer: for me it was like paradise (apart from [[Naples]]), and how pleasant it is for me to imagine you there! But all the same, [[Modya]], don&amp;#039;t sit there too long, and don&amp;#039;t lose sight of the fact that only an abundance of money can sweeten the sadness of moving on. Indeed! Please consider that if you&amp;#039;re travelling, like me, by direct courier train, then you&amp;#039;ll need to stay overnight in [[Vienna]]. The train arrives from Italy at 10 o&amp;#039;clock in the evening, and goes to Russia the next day at 11 o&amp;#039;clock.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

There&amp;#039; a scene in the 1st act when, to the sound of a magical violin, all the rats in the city rush out from everywhere and go headlong into the river — it&amp;#039;s terribly effective. &lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Только что приехал в Варшаву. Так как поезд в Москву идёт только в 3 часа, — то я взял № в гостинице «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Европа&amp;#039;&amp;#039;» и сейчас начну совершать омовения. Переезд от Вены сюда не особенно долог и утомителен, — между тем я устал (т. е. не телом, а напряжением нервов) ужасно. Никогда ещё мне не было так противно возвращаться в отечество, как в этот раз. Уж не предчувствие ли это, что я из него больше никогда не выеду? Русские артельщики — показались мне какими-[то] наглыми калмыками,	жандармы — медведями, курносые чиновники, осматривавшие ехидно мой багаж и потом явившиеся в ресторан и с шикарною небрежностью хватавшие что попало с буфета, — всё они возбуждали во мне желание нанести им какую-нибудь неприятность. Может быть, когда я попаду в настоящую Русь, — это пройдёт и я снова получу способность упиваться великорусским духом: — но теперь мне противно. Ещё 2 суток ехать!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Да, Модя, стыдно признаться, — но опостыла мне милая родина и не сладостные чувства возбуждает во мне приближение её. Сейчас принесли мне чай, и что ж, вместо коричневого заграничного навара из чайника полилась жидкость цвета {{...}} — противно; принесли «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Голос&amp;#039;&amp;#039;», и как увидал я эту квинтэссенцию петербургизма, — так жутко и гадко стало! О стократ милая Италия: подобно какому-то раю представляешься ты мне (кроме Неаполя), и как мне приятно воображать тебя там! А всё-таки, Модя, не засиживайся и не упускай из виду, что только изобилие денег может скрасить тоску переезда. Да! Прими во внимание, что если ты поедешь, как я, с курьерским прямым поездом, то &amp;#039;&amp;#039;нужно в Вене ночевать&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Из Италии поезд приходит в 10 ч[асов] веч[ера] и в Россию идёт на другой день в 11 ч[асов].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Видел я в Вене балет «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Der Spielmann&amp;#039;&amp;#039;»: превосходная, очень новая вещь. Там в 1-ом действии есть сцена, когда под звуки волшебной скрипки все крысы города отовсюду стремглав выбегают и спускаются в реку; страшно эффектно.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Целую тебя, Модичка, и Колю, и Гришу. Нередко помышляю о Вас. Мэри, Эмме, Дине — поклон.&lt;br /&gt;
