    • 2011, Виктор Пелевин , “Ч. 1. Damsel in distress”, in S.N.U.F.F.; English translation from Andrew Bromfield, transl., S.N.U.F.F., 2014:
      Когда́ речь идёт о новостя́х, мы не мо́жем подде́лывать изображе́ние собы́тий. Но Маниту́, наско́лько понима́ют тео́логи, не ста́нет возража́ть, е́сли мы чуть-чу́ть помо́жем э́тим собы́тиям произойти́.
      Kogdá rečʹ idjót o novostjáx, my ne móžem poddélyvatʹ izobražénije sobýtij. No Manitú, naskólʹko ponimájut teólogi, ne stánet vozražátʹ, jésli my čutʹ-čútʹ pomóžem étim sobýtijam proizojtí.
      When it comes to the news, we can’t falsify the representation of events. But Manitou, as far as the theologians’ understanding goes, won’t object if we give these events a little nudge to help them happen.
