| meaning 2 | to trust | Кузнец тоже купился на их бледный вид, отобрал к себе на катер как самых изможденных, немощных, не способных к побегу. (Г. Яхина. Зулейха открывает глаза) The blacksmith was also taken in by their gaunt appearance; he selected for his boat those who looked the most emaciated, frail, and incapable of escaping. |
