Russian term or phrase: отпрыски из кожи
Describing a gentrywoman's home where she was painting a portrait to Stalin but was evicted anyway.

В холле, на мольберте – незаконченный портрет Сталина (сама хозяйка рисует!). Кругом – самый ярый густопсовый патриотизм. Ее отпрыски из кожи вон лезли, пытаясь доказать всем (а может быть, и себе самим ), что они ярые комсомольцы и переменам ужасно рады!
