Platonov: Nalazhivat' razlichnye konflikty (Automatic)

[E Wayles Browne]

I could read the Cyrillic in both messages (using Safari
on a Macintosh to read Webmail at Cornell University).

However, I see that the Cyrillic has disappeared in what
my program copied below from your original message (instead it's
all Latin letters with diacritical marks).

As for a good ambiguous verb, what about
"to unharness various conflicts" or "to unhitch
various conflicts"? "Lend a hand to various
conflicts"? "Disengage"? "Take various conflicts in hand"?
