abash / embarrass

Russian
Could you explain the difference between to abash and to embarrass? That would be cool if you provided some examples of usage.
"Embarrass" is far more common than "abash", which is only really used as a past participle or adjective to describe a state: "John felt abashed," for example. In all other situations, use "embarrass".
