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.
- Moskvich (a common private passenger car)
