    • 1973, Михаил Булгаков, Мастер и Маргарита; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., Master and Margarita, London: Penguin Books, 1997:
      В числе прочего было потрясающее по своей художественной силе описание похищения пельменей, уложенных непосредственно в карман пиджака, в квартире № 31, два обещания покончить жизнь самоубийством и одно признание в тайной беременности.
      V čisle pročevo bylo potrjasajuščeje po svojej xudožestvennoj sile opisanije poxiščenija pelʹmenej, uložennyx neposredstvenno v karman pidžaka, v kvartire № 31, dva obeščanija pokončitʹ žiznʹ samoubijstvom i odno priznanije v tajnoj beremennosti.
      Among others there were a description, staggering in its artistic power, of the theft from apartment no. 51 of some meat dumplings, tucked directly into the pocket of a suit jacket, two vows to end life by suicide and one confession of secret pregnancy.
