    • 2013, Владимир Сорокин, chapter X, in Теллурия, Corpus; English translation from Max Lawton, transl., Telluria, New York Review Books, 2022:
      Богданка почти впрыгнул в тёплую полутьму прихожей, и едва Владимир захлопнул и запер за ним дверь, не раздеваясь, бессильно сполз по стене на пол.
      Bogdanka počti vprygnul v tjópluju polutʹmu prixožej, i jedva Vladimir zaxlopnul i zaper za nim dverʹ, ne razdevajasʹ, bessilʹno spolz po stene na pol.
      Bogdanka leapt into the warm darkness of the entryway, and no sooner had Vladimir slammed the door shut and locked it behind him than Bogdanka slid down the wall and onto the floor, neglecting to even take off his jacket.
