Examples from texts

“As though no one could be a scoundrel among us,” Liputin grinned suddenly, his knavish little eyes seeming to peer into Stepan Trofimovitch's soul.
- Точно у нас и не может быть негодяя? - осклабился вдруг Липутин, как бы ощупывая своими вороватенькими глазками Степана Трофимовича.

The possessed
Dostoevsky, Fyodor
Though I had long known that his servility was false, and all his pretences knavish and hollow, I had had no adequate conception of the extent of his hypocrisy, until I now saw him with his mask off.
Я знал, что раболепие его фальшиво, а все его поведение – гнусное притворство, но все же до того момента, когда с него слетела маска, я не представлял себе в полной мере, насколько он лицемерен.
