2000, Y. Zakhvatova, Палатка N 9-1-1:
Так будённовские медсёстры ста́ли рядовы́ми ― получи́ли пого́ны, а к ним камуфля́жную фо́рму-афга́нку, рези́новые сапоги́ и се́рые солда́тские ша́пки.
Tak budjónnovskije medsjóstry stáli rjadovými ― polučíli pogóny, a k nim kamufljážnuju fórmu-afgánku, rezínovyje sapogí i séryje soldátskije šápki.
So the nurses of Budyonnovsk became privates - they received shoulder marks, and in addition a camouflaging afganka uniform, rubber boots and grey soldiers' caps.
