    • 2011, Виктор Пелевин , “Ч. 1. Damsel in distress, 1”, in S.N.U.F.F.; English translation from Andrew Bromfield, transl., S.N.U.F.F., 2014:
      О́рки называ́ют его́ Боло́том Па́мяти — там вся Сла́ва хоро́нит свои́х уме́рших. С высоты́ оно́ похо́же на мра́чное сѐро-зелёное о́зеро, куда́ впада́ют жи́лки то́нких речу́шек.
      Órki nazyvájut jevó Bolótom Pámjati — tam vsja Sláva xorónit svoíx uméršix. S vysotý onó poxóže na mráčnoje sèro-zeljónoje ózero, kudá vpadájut žílki tónkix rečúšek.
      The Orks call it the Swamp of Memory – this is where the whole city of Slava buries its dead. From the air it looks like a murky, grey-green lake, with the veins of narrow streams running into it.
