   • 1963, Александр Исаевич Солженицын (Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn), “Матрёнин двор [Matryona's Home]”, in Новый мир:

     А недосту́пны бы́ли мы́ши для ко́шки и́з-за того́, что кто́-то когда́-то, ещё по хоро́шей жи́зни, окле́ил матрёнину избу́ рифлёными зеленова́тыми обо́ями, да не про́сто в слой, а в пять слоёв.

     A nedostúpny býli mýši dlja kóški íz-za tovó, što któ-to kogdá-to, ješčó po xoróšej žízni, okléil matrjóninu izbú rifljónymi zelenovátymi obójami, da ne prósto v sloj, a v pjatʹ slojóv.

     But the mice were out of reach for the cat because someone at some time, back when life was still good, had pasted Matryona's house with ribbed greenish wallpaper, and not just in a layer, but in five layers.
