    • 1868, Иван Тургенев [Ivan Turgenev], chapter VI, in Бригадир; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., The Brigadier, 1894:
      Я ника́к не был в состоя́нии себе́ предста́вить, каки́м о́бразом э́тот убо́гий старичо́к мог когда́-то быть вое́нным челове́ком, кома́ндовать, распоряжа́ться — да ещё в екатери́нинские суро́вые времена́!
      Ja nikák ne byl v sostojánii sebé predstávitʹ, kakím óbrazom étot ubógij staričók mog kogdá-to bytʹ vojénnym čelovékom, komándovatʹ, rasporjažátʹsja — da ješčó v jekateríninskije suróvyje vremená!
      I could not conceive how this forlorn old man ​could once have been an officer, could have maintained discipline, have given his commands—and that, too, in the stern days of Catherine!
