    • 1968, Boris and Arkady Strugatsky, The Tale of the Troika:
      При э́том анализа́тор агрега́та бу́дет анализи́ровать, ду́матель... — у ей вну́тре ведь есть, ка́жется, ду́матель? — ...ду́матель бу́дет ду́мать, и таки́м о́бразом агрега́т ста́нет у вас обуча́ться.
      Pri étom analizátor agregáta búdet analizírovatʹ, dúmatelʹ... — u jej vnútre vedʹ jestʹ, kážetsja, dúmatelʹ? — ...dúmatelʹ búdet dúmatʹ, i takím óbrazom agregát stánet u vas obučátʹsja.
      In this case, the unit analyser will analyse, the thinker... – she does have, it seems, a thinker inside her? – ...the thinker will think, and thus the unit will learn from you.
