сбросить маску

Examples from texts

Но ему льстило, что этот незаурядный мальчик видит в нем друга, с которым можно сбросить маску прожженного циника - обычную защиту всякого юноши от скучного и нравоучительного мира взрослых.
But he was proud that this ambitious boy turned to him as a friend with whom he could drop the parboiled cynicism with which his kind protected themselves against a dull and extremely advisory adult world.
