    • 2010, Олег Кашин, chapter 7, in Роисся вперде, Moscow: Ad Marginem; English translation from Will Evans, transl., Fardwor, Russia!, Restless Books, 2016:
      Спровоцировать свист и недовольные крики в таком цирке — это, в общем, тоже своего рода подвиг, и тот день, когда публика свистом и криками прогнала Васю за кулисы, был, наверное, самым главным днём в истории этого учреждения культуры.
      Sprovocirovatʹ svist i nedovolʹnyje kriki v takom cirke — eto, v obščem, tože svojevo roda podvig, i tot denʹ, kogda publika svistom i krikami prognala Vasju za kulisy, byl, navernoje, samym glavnym dnjom v istorii etovo učreždenija kulʹtury.
      To provoke jeering and booing in such a circus is in itself a kind of heroic deed, and the day when the audience’s jeers and shouts drove Vasya back behind the curtain may very well have been the most important day in the history of this particular cultural institution.
