     ♦ Именно показания [его] жены [Риммы] дали основание для вынесения ему смертного приговора. За всё это Римма получила тридцать сребреников реальных, в виде постоянных передач, и тридцать - иллюзорных, в виде обещаний дать ей... не тюрьму, не лагерь, а только ссылку, да еще всего на три года (Гинзбург 1). It was the evidence supplied by his wife [Rimma] which had sent him to his death. She was rewarded with thirty genuine pieces of silver in the form of permission to get any number of parcels, and thirty false ones-a promise she would not be sent to prison or to camp, but only into exile, and only for a maximum of three years at that (1b).
