      Он назва́л себя́ и сказа́л, где квартиру́ет. На друго́й день я отпра́вился к нему́, а неде́лю спустя́ мы уже́ почти́ не расстава́лись.
      On nazvál sebjá i skazál, gde kvartirújet. Na drugój denʹ ja otprávilsja k nemú, a nedélju spustjá my užé počtí ne rasstaválisʹ.

      Ита́к, неде́лю тому́ наза́д меня́ ски́нули с бригади́рства, а пять неде́ль тому́ наза́д — назна́чили. За четы́ре неде́ли, са́ми понима́ете, круты́х переме́н не введёшь, да я и не вводи́л никаки́х круты́х переме́н, а е́сли кому́ показа́лось, что и вводи́л, так попёрли меня́ всё-таки не за круты́е переме́ны.
      Iták, nedélju tomú nazád menjá skínuli s brigadírstva, a pjatʹ nedélʹ tomú nazád — naznáčili. Za četýre nedéli, sámi ponimájete, krutýx peremén ne vvedjóšʹ, da ja i ne vvodíl nikakíx krutýx peremén, a jésli komú pokazálosʹ, što i vvodíl, tak popjórli menjá vsjo-taki ne za krutýje peremény.
      So. A week ago I was kicked out of my job as brigade foreman, which I'd gotten five weeks ago. In four weeks, as you can understand, I couldn't have introduced any great changes, and even if anybody thought that I’d introduced any, all the same they didn’t sack me for great changes.
  2. (archaic) Sunday
