    • 1859, Иван Тургенев, “X”, in Дворянское гнездо; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., A House of Gentlefolk, 1917:
      Коротко остриженные волосы, накрахмаленное жабо, долгополый гороховый сюртук со множеством воротничков, кислое выражение лица, что-то резкое и вместе равнодушное в обращении, произношение сквозь зубы, деревянный внезапный хохот, отсутствие улыбки, исключительно политический и политико-экономический разговор, страсть к кровавым ростбифам и портвейну — всё в нём так и веяло Великобританией; весь он казался пропитан её духом.
      Korotko ostrižennyje volosy, nakraxmalennoje žabo, dolgopolyj goroxovyj sjurtuk so množestvom vorotničkov, kisloje vyraženije lica, što-to rezkoje i vmeste ravnodušnoje v obraščenii, proiznošenije skvozʹ zuby, derevjannyj vnezapnyj xoxot, otsutstvije ulybki, isključitelʹno političeskij i politiko-ekonomičeskij razgovor, strastʹ k krovavym rostbifam i portvejnu — vsjo v njom tak i vejalo Velikobritanijej; vesʹ on kazalsja propitan jejó duxom.
      His short-cropped hair, his starched shirt-front, his long-skirted pea-green overcoat with its multitude of capes, the sour expression of his face, something abrupt and at the same time indifferent in his behaviour, his way of speaking through his teeth, his sudden wooden laugh, the absence of smiles, his exclusively political or politic-economical conversation, his passion for roast beef and port wine--everything about him breathed, so to speak, of Great Britain.
