    • 1905, Дмитрий Мережковский [Dmitry Merezhkovsky], “Книга первая. Петербургская Венера”, in Пётр и Алексей; English translation from Peter and Alexis, (Please provide a date or year):
      Стыд, страх, скорбь, жа́жда раска́яния, жа́жда вели́кого де́йствия, мгнове́нного по́двига — всё разреши́лось э́тою ме́дленною, неудержи́мою до бо́ли, до су́дороги в челюстя́х, бо́лее стра́шною, чем вопль и рыда́ние, безнадё́жною зево́тою.
      Styd, strax, skorbʹ, žážda raskájanija, žážda velíkovo déjstvija, mgnovénnovo pódviga — vsjo razrešílosʹ étoju médlennoju, neuderžímoju do bóli, do súdorogi v čeljustjáx, bóleje strášnoju, čem voplʹ i rydánije, beznadjóžnoju zevótoju.
