    • 1880, Ф. Н. Плевако, Речь в защиту Люторических крестьян:
      Постоя́нные долги́, благодаря́ приёмам управле́ния, росли́ и затя́гивали крестья́н: кредито́р вла́ствовал над должнико́м и закабаля́л его рабо́той на себя́, рабо́той за неплатёж из го́да в год накопля́вшейся неусто́йки.
      Postojánnyje dolgí, blagodarjá prijómam upravlénija, roslí i zatjágivali krestʹján: kreditór vlástvoval nad dolžnikóm i zakabaljál jevo rabótoj na sebjá, rabótoj za neplatjóž iz góda v god nakopljávšejsja neustójki.
      Thanks to management tricks, the ever-present debts grew and sucked down the peasants; the creditor lorded over the debtor and bonded him into labor, labor as compensation for the unpaid late fees accumulating year after year.
