1937, Lion Feuchtwanger, Moscow 1937: My Visit Described for My Friends. 1. Work and Leisure, page 13‒14:Москвичи́ остря́т над э́тими ме́лкими непола́дками, их остро́ты доброду́шны, а иногда́ и зло́бны, но э́ти ме́лкие неудо́бства не заслоня́ют от них того́ большо́го, кото́рое мо́жет дать то́лько жизнь в Сове́тском Сою́зе, и е́сли сли́шком до́лго остана́вливаешься на э́тих небольши́х бытовы́х неудо́бствах, то москвичи́ перехо́дят в наступле́ние, в свою́ о́чередь задава́я вопро́с: как мо́жно жить в капиталисти́ческой стране́?- Moskvičí ostrját nad étimi mélkimi nepoládkami, ix ostróty dobrodúšny, a inogdá i zlóbny, no éti mélkije neudóbstva ne zaslonjájut ot nix tovó bolʹšóvo, kotóroje móžet datʹ tólʹko žiznʹ v Sovétskom Sojúze, i jésli slíškom dólgo ostanávlivaješʹsja na étix nebolʹšíx bytovýx neudóbstvax, to moskvičí perexódjat v nastuplénije, v svojú óčeredʹ zadavája voprós: kak móžno žitʹ v kapitalistíčeskoj strané?
- The residents of Moscow joke about these minor inconveniences, usually, if not always, with complete good-humour, but they never think of allowing these shortcomings to blind them to the big things which life in the Soviet Union alone can offer; and if you dwell for long on the minor drawbacks of their everyday life, the residents of Moscow will take the aggressive and turn the tables by declaring that they, for their part, cannot imagine how you can endure life in a capitalist country.
1997, Александр Коржаков [Alexander Korzhakov], “Знакомство”, in Борис Ельцин: от рассвета до заката, Москва: Интербук; English translation from Boris Yeltsin: From Dawn to Dusk, (Please provide a date or year):Е́льцин ведь прие́хал с перифери́и и, ви́димо, испы́тьвал потре́бность при слу́чае подчеркну́ть, что и там есть лю́ди ничу́ть не ху́же москвиче́й, а мо́жет и полу́чше.- Jélʹcin vedʹ prijéxal s periferíi i, vídimo, ispýtʹval potrébnostʹ pri slúčaje podčerknútʹ, što i tam jestʹ ljúdi ničútʹ ne xúže moskvičéj, a móžet i polúčše.
