- between the upper and nether millstone

Here in Italy, the middle-class is ill-paid, insecure and caught between the upper and nether millstones of irresponsible capital and unemployed labour. (M. West, ‘Children of the Sun’, ch. IX) — У нас в Италии средние слои населения плохо оплачиваются, не уверены в завтрашнем дне и находятся между двух огней - между безответственными капиталистами и безработными рабочими.
