خلفية ثقافية
In Russian government offices, 'прийти в негодность' is a legal term. If your passport is 'unfit,' you cannot just fix it; you must follow a specific legal process to replace it. Older Russians might be hesitant to say something has 'пришло в негодность' because they are used to repairing everything. Using this phrase often marks the emotional end of an object's life. In big cities like Moscow, you'll see this phrase on signs near construction sites or old buildings, warning people that the structure is unsafe. Classic writers like Chekhov or Gogol often used this phrase to describe the decay of noble estates, symbolizing the decline of a social class.
