1849, Фёдор Достоевский [Fyodor Dostoevsky], Маленький герой; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., A Little Hero, 1918:Друзе́й и подру́г у ней бы́ло мно́жество. Во-пе́рвых, её ма́ло кто не люби́л, а во-вторы́х — ве́треница и сама́ была́ не сли́шком разбо́рчива в вы́боре друзе́й свои́х, хотя́ в осно́ве её хара́ктера бы́ло гора́здо бо́лее серьёзного, чем ско́лько мо́жно предположи́ть, су́дя по тому́, что я тепе́рь рассказа́л.- Druzéj i podrúg u nej býlo mnóžestvo. Vo-pérvyx, jejó málo kto ne ljubíl, a vo-vtorýx — vétrenica i samá bylá ne slíškom razbórčiva v výbore druzéj svoíx, xotjá v osnóve jejó xaráktera býlo gorázdo bóleje serʹjóznovo, čem skólʹko móžno predpoložítʹ, súdja po tomú, što ja tepérʹ rasskazál.
- She had masses of friends, male and female. In the first place, almost everybody liked her; and secondly, the feather-headed creature was not herself over particular in the choice of her friends, though there was a much more serious foundation to her character than might be suppled from what I have just said about her.
