    • 1893, Антон Чехов [Anton Chekhov], “IV”, in Рассказ неизвестного человека; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., An Anonymous Story, 1917:
      Когда́ мы развора́чивали ча́йный серви́з, то у По́ли разгоре́лись глаза́, и она́ ра́за три взгляну́ла на меня́ с не́навистью и со стра́хом, что, быть мо́жет, не она́, а я пе́рвый украду́ одну́ из э́тих грацио́зных ча́шечек.
      Kogdá my razvoráčivali čájnyj servíz, to u Póli razgorélisʹ glazá, i oná ráza tri vzgljanúla na menjá s nénavistʹju i so stráxom, što, bytʹ móžet, ne oná, a ja pérvyj ukradú odnú iz étix gracióznyx čášeček.
      As we were unpacking the tea service Polya's eyes gleamed, and she looked at me two or three times with hatred and fear that I, not she, would be the first to steal one of these charming cups.
