- 2005, Андрей Юрьевич Курков (Andrey Yuryevich Kurkov), chapter 2, in Закон улитки; translated as George Bird, transl., Penguin Lost, 2010:
- Ту́чи постепе́нно превраща́лись в облака́ и́ли происходи́л како́й-то друго́й труднообъясни́мый для непосвящённых климати́ческий фено́мен. Прогресси́рующая дистрофи́я туч. Они́ ведь и с са́мого нача́ла показа́лись Ви́ктору скоре́е декора́цией, чем предве́стниками ли́вня. Ту́чи бы́ли импоте́нтны, а импоте́нтные ту́чи зову́тся облака́ми, и ве́тер их обы́чно раста́скивает по не́бу до по́лного исчезнове́ния.
- Túči postepénno prevraščálisʹ v oblaká íli proisxodíl kakój-to drugój trudnoobʺjasnímyj dlja neposvjaščónnyx klimatíčeskij fenómen. Progressírujuščaja/progrɛssírujuščaja distrofíja tuč. Oní vedʹ i s sámovo načála pokazálisʹ Víktoru skoréje dekorácijej, čem predvéstnikami lívnja. Túči býli impoténtny, a impoténtnyje/impotɛ́ntnyje túči zovútsja oblakámi, i véter ix obýčno rastáskivajet po nébu do pólnovo isčeznovénija.
- The storm clouds gradually turned into [ordinary] clouds, or some other climatic phenomenon took place, inexplicable to the uninitiated. A progressive dystrophy of storm clouds. From the very beginning they had seemed to Viktor decorations rather than harbingers of downpours. The storm clouds were impotent, and impotent storm clouds are [merely] called clouds, and the wind ordinarily drags them across the sky until they completely disappear.
