2006, Игорь Шестков-Эпштейн, Меланхолия застоя, page 29:Ты не зна́ешь, что зна́чит жить в прови́нции... Мои́ роди́тели жи́ли как в девятна́дцатом ве́ке. Тёти, дя́ди, бра́тья, сестры́, кузе́ны, ба́бушки, де́душки - и все аи́ды. Никто́ в синаго́гу не хо́дит, да́же на и́дише никто́ не говори́т, но все обсужда́ют, ско́лько в том и в том евре́йской кро́ви.- Ty ne znáješʹ, što znáčit žitʹ v províncii... Moí rodíteli žíli kak v devjatnádcatom véke. Tjóti, djádi, brátʹja, sestrý, kuzɛ́ny, bábuški, déduški - i vse aídy. Niktó v sinagógu ne xódit, dáže na ídiše niktó ne govorít, no vse obsuždájut, skólʹko v tom i v tom jevréjskoj króvi.
- You do not know what it means to live in the provinces... My parents lived like in the nineteenth century. Aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, cousins, grandparents — and all Yids. No one goes to the synagogue, no one even speaks Yiddish, but everyone is always discussing how much Jewish blood so-and-so has.
