I'm trying to locate the source (or at least a citation) of a Russian folk saying:
Батюшка-Питер бока нам вытер, братцы заводы унесли годы, а матюшка канава совсем доконала. (Batiushka-Piter boka nam vyter, brattsy zavody unesli gody, a matiushka kanava sovsem dokonala.)
The saying comes up in a Google/Yandex search, but I'm trying to find a more citable source and have limited (immediate) access to print collections of folk sayings.
Might any of you have a lead?
Many thanks
Martha Kelly
