Excerpt from Nouvelles Russes: Stepane Makarief Vera l'Examinateur le Meunier Anton Malissof
La maison de rondins, solidement calfeutree de mousse et d'etoupes, reposait sur un soubassement de gros cailloux entasses, de maniere a eviter l'humidite des degels. Un escalier exterieur conduisait dans une sorte d'antichambre obscure, qui servait aussi de garde-manger; puis on entrait dans une piece eclairee par trois petites fenetres a guillotine, munies d'epais carreaux verdatres. Une autre piece plus petite, egalement chauffee par un poele de briques, venait d'etre ajoutee a la construction plus ancienne. Le grenier etait vaste: l'etable logeait deux vaches et deux petits chevaux. Les balcons du grenier, les encadrements des fenetres et le toit pointu de la maison etaient ornes de larges decoupures en bois.

C'etait le vieux Makar lui-meme qui avait taille, un a un, et rapporte de la foret les madriers dont la maison etait faite. De sa propre main il avait decoupe et pose les ornements, de meme qu'il avait creuse les fondations. Aussi le vieillard disait-il, non sans orgueil: Je me suis bati ma maison a moi-meme!
