Help with the meaning of a phrase
Hi. I would appreciate it if you could help me with the meaning of the phrase in bold. According to the story, the Cossacks would break into Ralnick's house searching for sacks of grain.
"The tension between the familiar (Mar Ralnick) and the exotic (whip-wielding Cossack) is striking only now, years later, in retrospect. At that time it did not seem strange that these Cossacks searching for sacks of grain should tramp so close to one own's experience."
