- 1999, Виктор Пелевин, “Поколение «П»”, in Generation «П», Вагриус; English translation from Andrew Bromfield, transl., Homo Zapiens, Penguin Books, 2000:
- Пото́м незаме́тно произошло́ одно́ суще́ственное для его́ бу́дущего собы́тие. СССР, кото́рый на́чали обновля́ть и улучша́ть приме́рно тогда́ же, когда́ Тата́рский реши́л смени́ть профе́ссию, улу́чшился насто́лько, что переста́л существова́ть (е́сли госуда́рство спосо́бно попа́сть в нирва́ну, э́то был как раз тако́й слу́чай).
- Potóm nezamétno proizošló odnó suščéstvennoje dlja jevó búduščevo sobýtije. SSSR, kotóryj náčali obnovljátʹ i ulučšátʹ primérno togdá že, kogdá Tatárskij rešíl smenítʹ proféssiju, ulúčšilsja nastólʹko, što perestál suščestvovátʹ (jésli gosudárstvo sposóbno popástʹ v nirvánu, éto byl kak raz takój slúčaj).
