1973, Aleksandr I Solzhenitsyn, translated by Thomas P Whitney, “Tyurzak”, in The Gulag Archipelago, 1918–1956: An Experiment in Literary Investigation (Perennial Library), parts I–II, New York, N.Y.: Harper & Row, →ISBN, part I (The Prison Industry), page 468:Обосно́вывается ме́ра тем, что администра́ция должна́ быть уве́рена, что голодо́вка прово́дится че́стно — что остальна́я ка́мера не подка́рмливает голодо́вщика.- Obosnóvyvajetsja méra tem, što administrácija dolžná bytʹ uvérena, što golodóvka provóditsja čéstno — što ostalʹnája kámera ne podkármlivajet golodóvščika.
- This measure had as its nominal justification the argument that the prison administration had to make sure that the hunger strike was going on honestly—that others in the cell weren't sneaking food to the hunger striker.
