- 1925, Михаил Булгаков, “Глава 1. Куррикулюм витэ профессора Персикова”, in Роковые яйца; English translation from K. M. Cook-Horujy, transl., The Fateful Eggs, Moscow: Raduga Publishers, 1990:
- Персиков оставшиеся 20 экземпляров квакш попробовал перевести на питание тараканами, но и тараканы куда-то провалились, показав своё злостное отношение к военному коммунизму.
- Persikov ostavšijesja 20 ekzempljarov kvakš poproboval perevesti na pitanije tarakanami, no i tarakany kuda-to provalilisʹ, pokazav svojó zlostnoje otnošenije k vojennomu kommunizmu.
- Vlas should have been fed with flour and the toads with flour weevils, but the disappearance of the former determined that of the latter likewise, and Persikov tried to shift the twenty surviving specimens of tree-frogs onto a diet of cockroaches, but then the cockroaches disappeared too, thereby demonstrating their hostile attitude to war communism.
