ея (jejǫ́)

    Смерть буржуазии и ея прихвостням, да здравствует красный террор!
    Smertʹ buržuazii i jejǫ́ prixvostnjam, da zdravstvujet krasnyj terror!
    Death to the bourgeoisie and its lackeys – Long live the Red Terror! (inscription on a banner displayed at Moisei Uritsky's funeral in 1918; the inscription conserves the old spelling ея but otherwise follows the spelling reform)
Usage notes
  • ея (jeja) is one of the few Russian terms in pre-1918 orthography in which a stressed я (ja) is pronounced like the letter ё (jo). It is therefore written with a diaeresis in a similar fashion: я̈ ().
