Bazhov - sabotage

[Svetlana Grenier]

  Dear Robert,

Happy New Year!

  Or is it 'The owl DID WHAT HE COULD to make things harder for Poloz'?

   I would definitely go with this latter version.  "Vredil" would not 
mean "prevented." You would have to say something like "ne daval" or 
"meshal"--but to make it iterative you would add "kazhdyi raz meshal" or 
something like that.

All the best in 2011!

Svetlana
