    • 1877, Лев Толстой, “Часть II Глава VIII”, in Анна Каренина; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., Anna Karenina, 1901:
      Когда Алексей Александрович решил сам с собою, что нужно переговорить с женою, ему казалось это очень легко и просто; но теперь, когда он стал обдумывать это вновь возникшее обстоятельство, оно показалось ему очень сложным и затруднительным.
      Kogda Aleksej Aleksandrovič rešil sam s soboju, što nužno peregovoritʹ s ženoju, jemu kazalosʹ eto očenʹ lexko i prosto; no teperʹ, kogda on stal obdumyvatʹ eto vnovʹ voznikšeje obstojatelʹstvo, ono pokazalosʹ jemu očenʹ složnym i zatrudnitelʹnym.
      When Alexey Alexandrovitch had made up his mind that he must talk to his wife about it, it had seemed a very easy and simple matter. But now, when he began to think over the question that had just presented itself, it seemed to him very complicated and difficult.
