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.
