    • 1987, НИИ Косметики, “Депутаты в электричке”:
      Кра́сный око́лыш, лу́пит по щека́м:
      «Куды́ е́дешь, а? Пока́жь докуме́нт!»
      Достаёт из широ́ких штани́н аусва́йс,
      Сочу́вствую хло́пцу, ведь он милиционе́р.
      Krásnyj okólyš, lúpit po ščekám:
      «Kudý jédešʹ, a? Pokážʹ dokumént!»
      Dostajót iz širókix štanín ausvájs,
      Sočúvstvuju xlópcu, vedʹ on milicionér.
      Red band [on the police cap], bitch-slaps me:
      «Where are you heading to? Show your document!»
      Takes the passport out of his wide pants,
      I feel sorry for him, because he is a policeman.
      [the censored rhyme word мент (ment, cop) was later used in cover by Igor Anchipolovsky]
