путь к измене Explanation: PUT' K IZMENE «Perfidy» is an act or instance of deliberate breach of faith or trust, faithlessness (Webster's). It is translated into Russian through the words «предательство», «измена», or «вероломство». The Russian word «путь» is slightly more general and formal than «дорога». In my view, the most general choice for the English “road to perfidy” is «путь к измене». The sense of the translated phrase will become less general as we move down this list: - путь к измене - дорога к измене - путь к предательству - дорога к предательству - на пути вероломства - дорогой вероломства Regards.
