  • Обраща́ться к малоизве́стным исто́чникам с це́лью по́иска и́стины всегда́ продукти́внее, чем приду́мывать объясне́ния, почему́ э́тим исто́чникам нельзя́ ве́рить.

    ab-ra-schá-tsa k ma-la-eez-vyés-nym ees-tóch-nee-kam s tsél'-yu pó-ees-ka ées-tee-ny fseeg-dá pra-duk-téev-nye-ye, chyem pree-dú-my-vat' ab'-ees-nyé-nee-ya, pa-chee-mú é-teem ees-tóch-nee-kam neel'-zyá vyé-reet'

    Turning to little-known sources in order to find the truth is always more productive than coming up with explanations for why these sources cannot be trusted.
