It's not the exact quote that I meant as a classic example, but inventing plural forms for the word "пальто" in general, that's why I wrote 'sample'.

Then "This _is usually given as a classic example of 'uneducated' person's speech in Russian schools."

From Oxford dictionary:
sample • noun 1 a small part or quantity intended to show what the whole is like.

It is translated into Russian as пример or образец but it's not the same as example.
