    • 1973, Михаил Булгаков [Mikhail Bulgakov], “Глава XXVIII. Последние похождения Коровьева и Бегемота”, in Мастер и Маргарита; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., Master and Margarita, London: Penguin Books, 1997:
      Пу́блика из си́тцевого отделе́ния повали́ла на э́тот крик, а Бегемо́т отошёл от конди́терских собла́знов и запусти́л ла́пу в бо́чку с на́дписью: «сельдь ке́рченская отбо́рная», вы́тащил па́рочку селёдок и проглоти́л их, вы́плюнув хвосты́.
      Públika iz sítcevovo otdelénija povalíla na étot krik, a Begemót otošól ot kondíterskix sobláznov i zapustíl lápu v bóčku s nádpisʹju: «selʹdʹ kérčenskaja otbórnaja», výtaščil páročku seljódok i proglotíl ix, výpljunuv xvostý.
      The public from the fabric department came thronging at this cry, while Behemoth, stepping away from the confectionery temptations, thrust his paw into a barrel labelled ‘Choice Kerch Herring’, pulled out a couple of herring, and swallowed them, spitting out the tails.
