    • 1973, Михаил Булгаков , “Глава XVI. Казнь”, in Мастер и Маргарита; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., Master and Margarita, London: Penguin Books, 1997:
      Вёдра пусте́ли бы́стро, и кавалери́сты из ра́зных взво́дов по о́череди отправля́лись за водо́й в ба́лку под горо́й, где в жи́дкой тени́ то́щих ту́товых дере́вьев дожива́л свои́ дни на э́той дья́вольской жаре́ мутнова́тый руче́й.
      Vjódra pustéli býstro, i kavalerísty iz ráznyx vzvódov po óčeredi otpravljálisʹ za vodój v bálku pod gorój, gde v žídkoj tení tóščix tútovyx derévʹjev doživál svoí dni na étoj dʹjávolʹskoj žaré mutnovátyj ručéj.
      The buckets were quickly emptied, and cavalrymen from different squads took turns going to fetch water in the gully below the hill, where in the thin shade of spindly mulberries a muddy brook was living out its last days in the devilish heat.
