    • 2006, А. А. Русакова, О воспоминаниях Михаила Васильевича Нестерова:
      Лишь во второ́й полови́не э́того десятиле́тия, пережи́в глубо́кое го́ре ― смерть молодо́й жены́, ― потря́сшее необыча́йно чу́ткого, впечатли́тельного Не́стерова, он ре́е́зко порыва́ет с передви́жническим реали́змом и мелкоте́мьем.
      Lišʹ vo vtorój polovíne étovo desjatilétija, perežív glubókoje góre ― smertʹ molodój žený, ― potrjásšeje neobyčájno čútkovo, vpečatlítelʹnovo Nésterova, on réjézko poryvájet s peredvížničeskim realízmom i melkotémʹjem.
      Only in the second half of the decade, after suffering a terrible tragedy, the death of his young wife, which had shaken the highly sensitive and impressive Nesterov, he abruptly abandons Itinerant realism and triviality of subject matter.
