- 1925, Михаил Булгаков, chapter 2, in Собачье сердце; English translation from Avril Pyman, transl., Heart of a Dog, Moscow: Raduga Publishers, 1990:
- — Угу, — молвил Филипп Филиппович каким-то странным голосом, — а где же я должен принимать пищу?
— В спальне, — хором ответили все четверо.- — Ugu, — molvil Filipp Filippovič kakim-to strannym golosom, — a gde že ja dolžen prinimatʹ pišču?
— V spalʹne, — xorom otvetili vse četvero. - "I see," Philip Philipovich murmured in a curious voice. "And where am I supposed to partake of food?"
"In the bedroom," all four replied in chorus.
- — Ugu, — molvil Filipp Filippovič kakim-to strannym golosom, — a gde že ja dolžen prinimatʹ pišču?
