Foote, transl., The Golovlevs, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1986:До сих по́р Евпраксе́юшка была́ до тако́й сте́пени беззащи́тна, что Порфи́рий Влади́мирыч мог угнета́ть её без мале́йших опасе́ний. Благодаря́ кра́йней нера́звитости ума́ и врождённой дря́блости хара́ктера, она́ да́же не чу́вствовала э́того угнете́ния.- Do six pór Jevprakséjuška bylá do takój stépeni bezzaščítna, što Porfírij Vladímiryč mog ugnetátʹ jejó bez maléjšix opasénij. Blagodarjá krájnej nerázvitosti umá i vroždjónnoj drjáblosti xaráktera, oná dáže ne čúvstvovala étovo ugneténija.
