    • 1925, Михаил Булгаков, “Глава 4. Попадья Дроздова”, in Роковые яйца; English translation from K. M. Cook-Horujy, transl., The Fateful Eggs, Moscow: Raduga Publishers, 1990:
      Бог знает почему, Иванов ли тут был виноват, или потому, что сенсационные известия передаются сами собой по воздуху, но только в гигантской кипящей Москве вдруг заговорили о луче и о профессоре Персикове.
      Bog znajet počemu, Ivanov li tut byl vinovat, ili potomu, što sensacionnyje izvestija peredajutsja sami soboj po vozduxu, no tolʹko v gigantskoj kipjaščej Moskve vdrug zagovorili o luče i o professore Persikove.
      Goodness only knows why, perhaps Ivanov was to blame or perhaps the sensational news just travelled through the air on its own, but in the huge seething city of Moscow people suddenly started talking about the ray and Professor Persikov.
