1973, Венедикт Ерофеев, “Кусково — Новогиреево”, in Москва — Петушки; English translation from H. William Tjalsma, transl., Moscow to the End of the Line, Evanston: Northwestern University Press, 1980:Итак, неделю тому назад меня скинули с бригадирства, а пять недель тому назад — назначили. За четыре недели, сами понимаете, крутых перемен не введёшь, да я и не вводил никаких крутых перемен, а если кому показалось, что и вводил, так попёрли меня всё-таки не за крутые перемены.- Itak, nedelju tomu nazad menja skinuli s brigadirstva, a pjatʹ nedelʹ tomu nazad — naznačili. Za četyre nedeli, sami ponimajete, krutyx peremen ne vvedjóšʹ, da ja i ne vvodil nikakix krutyx peremen, a jesli komu pokazalosʹ, što i vvodil, tak popjórli menja vsjo-taki ne za krutyje peremeny.
- So. A week ago I was kicked out of my job as brigade foreman, which I'd gotten five weeks ago. In four weeks, as you can understand, I couldn't have introduced any great changes, and even if anybody thought that I’d introduced any, all the same they didn’t sack me for great changes.
