It appeared that Lyamshin had quoted the phrase about "undermining the foundation," word for word from this document, not omitting a single stop or comma, though he had declared that it was all his own, theory.
Оказалось, что о "потрясении основ" Лямшин буквально цитовал по этой бумажке, не забыв даже точек и запятых, хотя и уверял, что это его только собственное соображение.

In his more petulant moments, he has asked why so many of those who saw no harm in NATO undermining Milosevic adamantly opposed the ouster of Saddam Hussein.
В те моменты, когда он был раздражен, Блэр сам задавал вопрос - почему многие из тех, кто не видел никакого вреда в том, что НАТО борется с Милошевичем, так непреклонно выступали против свержения Саддама Хуссеина.

The first is, by knowing how, with prudence, to dispose of a wife, a daughter, or a sister; the second, by betraying or undermining his predecessor; and the third is, by a furious zeal, in public assemblies, against the corruption's of the court.
Первый способ - уменье благоразумно распорядиться женой, дочерью или сестрой; второй - предательство своего предшественника или подкоп под него; и, наконец, третий - яростное обличение в общественных собраниях испорченности двора.

Nevertheless, Mr. Prugavin expresses quite justified fears that “they will cause a very big change in the economic organisation of rake making”, in the sense, of course, of undermining the independence of the producers.
Тем не менее, г. Пругавин выражает весьма справедливое опасение того, что «они произведут весьма крупное изменение в области экономической организации гребенного производства», разумеется, в смысле подрыва самостоятельности производителей.

That would reduce the risk of policies in one sector undermining the attainment of objectives in another and would also help to achieve a balanced allocation of resources.
Такой подход уменьшает риск того, что политика, проводимая в одном секторе, нанесет вред достижению целей в других секторах, и открывает возможность для более сбалансированного распределения ресурсов.
