   • 1975, Аркадий Александрович Вайнер, Георгий Александрович Вайнер, Эра милосердия:

     Немалыми усилиями, но своего мы тогда добились: большинство опасных жуликов переловили, выявили и позакрывали все малины, пересажали особо злостных, не желающих завязывать с прибыльным ремеслом, барыг-перекупщиков.

     Nemalymi usilijami, no svojevo my togda dobilisʹ: bolʹšinstvo opasnyx žulikov perelovili, vyjavili i pozakryvali vse maliny, peresažali osobo zlostnyx, ne želajuščix zavjazyvatʹ s pribylʹnym remeslom, baryg-perekupščikov.

     It took a major effort, but back then we succeeded: we caught most of the dangerous gangsters, identified and closed down all thieves' hideouts, jailed the worst of the fences and resellers who didn't wish to give up that profitable line of business.

   • (Can we date this quote?), “Murka”, performed by A.Severny:

     На Сонькиной малине они остановились,
     они остановились отдохнуть.

     Na Sonʹkinoj maline oni ostanovilisʹ,
     oni ostanovilisʹ otdoxnutʹ.

     They stopped at the Sonya’s hideout.
