    • 1899, Антон Павлович Чехов (Anton Pavlovich Chekhov), “Дама с собачкой”, in Русская мысль; translated as “The Lady with the Dog”, in Constance Garnett, transl., The Lady with the Dog and Other Stories, London: Chatto & Windus, 1917, part 3:
      У ста́рых лип и берёз, бе́лых от и́нея, доброду́шное выраже́ние, они́ бли́же к се́рдцу, чем кипари́сы и па́льмы, и вблизи́ них уже́ не хо́чется ду́мать о гора́х и мо́ре.
      U stáryx lip i berjóz, bélyx ot íneja, dobrodúšnoje vyražénije, oní blíže k sérdcu, čem kiparísy i pálʹmy, i vblizí nix užé ne xóčetsja dúmatʹ o goráx i móre.
      The old limes and birches, white with hoar-frost, have a good-natured expression; they are nearer to one's heart than cypresses and palms, and near them one doesn't want to be thinking of the sea and the mountains.
