    • 1973, Михаил Булгаков , “Глава XXVIII. Последние похождения Коровьева и Бегемота”, in Мастер и Маргарита; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., Master and Margarita, London: Penguin Books, 1997:
      — У меня́, мо́жет быть, по́лный при́мус валю́ты, — запа́льчиво встрял в разгово́р и котообра́зный толстя́к, так и пру́щий в магази́н.
      — U menjá, móžet bytʹ, pólnyj prímus valjúty, — zapálʹčivo vstrjal v razgovór i kotoobráznyj tolstják, tak i prúščij v magazín.
      ‘Maybe I’ve got a whole primus full of currency,’ the cat-like fat fellow, who was simply shoving his way into the store, vehemently butted into the conversation.
