      Чи́стое иску́сство ни к чему́ не обя́зывает, и с рублё́вым альмана́хом в рука́х совреме́нный чита́тель, лё́жа днём на крова́ти, наслажда́ется созерца́нием психологи́ческих глуби́н и плюё́т в потоло́к.
      Čístoje iskússtvo ni k čemú ne objázyvajet, i s rubljóvym alʹmanáxom v rukáx sovreménnyj čitátelʹ, ljóža dnjom na krováti, naslaždájetsja sozercánijem psixologíčeskix glubín i pljujót v potolók.
