2006, Виктор Пелевин, “Митра”, in Empire V; English translation from Anthony Phillips, transl., Empire V, 2016:
В центре зоны притяжения был, как мне сначала показалось, секс – но, приглядевшись, я понял, что главной радостью в этой жизни было всё-таки пиво.
V centre zony pritjaženija byl, kak mne snačala pokazalosʹ, seks – no, prigljadevšisʹ, ja ponjal, što glavnoj radostʹju v etoj žizni bylo vsjo-taki pivo.
At first I thought that sex was the nodal point of the zone of attraction. But when I looked more closely, I saw that the chief source of joy in this particular life was, in fact, beer.
