1886, Антон Чехов , На пути; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., On the Road, 1920:— Есть пра́здники, кото́рые име́ют свой за́пах. На Па́сху, Тро́ицу и на Рождество́ в во́здухе па́хнет че́м-то осо́бенным. Да́же неве́рующие лю́бят э́ти пра́здники. Мой брат, наприме́р, толку́ет, что бо́га нет, а на Па́сху пе́рвый бежи́т к зау́трене.- — Jestʹ prázdniki, kotóryje iméjut svoj zápax. Na Pásxu, Tróicu i na Roždestvó v vózduxe páxnet čém-to osóbennym. Dáže nevérujuščije ljúbjat éti prázdniki. Moj brat, naprimér, tolkújet, što bóga net, a na Pásxu pérvyj bežít k zaútrene.
- "There are festivals that have a special fragrance: at Easter, Trinity and Christmas there is a peculiar scent in the air. Even unbelievers are fond of those festivals. My brother, for instance, argues that there is no God, but he is the first to hurry to Matins at Easter."
