    • 1880, Михаил Салтыков-Щедрин [Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin], “Семейный суд”, in Господа Головлёвы; English translation from I. P. Foote, transl., The Golovlevs, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1986:
      Глава́ семе́йства, Влади́мир Миха́йлыч Головлё́в, ещё́ смо́лоду был изве́стен свои́м безала́берным и озорны́м хара́ктером, и для Ари́ны Петро́вны, всегда́ отлича́вшейся серьё́зностью и делови́тостью, никогда́ ничего́ симпати́чного не представля́л.
      Glavá seméjstva, Vladímir Mixájlyč Golovljóv, ješčó smólodu byl izvésten svoím bezalábernym i ozorným xarákterom, i dlja Aríny Petróvny, vsegdá otličávšejsja serʹjóznostʹju i delovítostʹju, nikogdá ničevó simpatíčnovo ne predstavljál.
      The head of the family, Vladimir Mikhailych Golovlev, was known from his early years for his shiftless and mischievous character, and in Arina Petrovna, who was always serious and practical by nature, he never evoked any kindred feeling.
