Nekrasov quotes

[Dean Worth]

Dear Seelangers,
     A historian colleague has asked me to try to identify the two following
citations from Nekrasov, which he thinks may have been cited from memory; I
use the standard linguistic transliteration:
     (1) "Chudo ja, Sasha, vidal: Gorstochku russkix soslali v strashnuju
glush', za raskol, Volju da zemlju im dali, god nezametnu proshel - edut
tuda kommissary, gljad' - uzh derevnja stoit, rigi, sarai, ambary! V kuznice
molot stuchit, mel'nicu vystrojat skoro. Uzh zapaslis' muzhiki zverem iz
temnogo bora, ryboj iz vol'noj reki. Vnov' cherez god pobyvali, novoe chudo
nashli: zhiteli xleb sobirali s prezhde besplodnoj zemli. Vzrosshie v nravax
surovyx, sami tvorjat oni sud, rekrutov stavjat zdorovyx, trezvo i chestno
zhivut, podati platjat do sroka, tol'ko ty im ne meshaj." "Gde zh ta
derevnja?" "Daleko, imja ej: Tarbagataj, strashnaja glush' za Bajkalom...
Tak postepenno v polveka vyros ogromnyj posad - Volja i trud cheloveka
divnye divy tvorjat!"
(Note that this seems to be verse, not prose - dw)
     (2) "Na mesto cepej krepostnyx Ljudi pridumali mnogo inyx"
Please reply off-list to Georg Michels <georg.michels at ucr.edu> with a copy
to me <dworth at ucla.edu>. Many thanks in advance! Dean Worth
