    • 1905, Фёдор Сологуб [Fyodor Sologub], chapter IV, in Мелкий бес; English translation from John Cournos and Richard Aldington, transl., The Little Demon, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1916:
      Они́ ла́комились оре́хами да изю́мом и, очеви́дно, чего́-то жда́ли, а потому́ волнова́лись и смея́лись бо́лее обы́чного, вспомина́ли после́дние городски́е спле́тни и осме́ивали знако́мых и незнако́мых.
      Oní lákomilisʹ oréxami da izjúmom i, očevídno, čevó-to ždáli, a potomú volnoválisʹ i smejálisʹ bóleje obýčnovo, vspomináli poslédnije gorodskíje splétni i osméivali znakómyx i neznakómyx.
      They were eating nuts and raisins. They were obviously waiting for something and were therefore rather agitated and laughed more than usual as they recalled the latest town gossip. They ridiculed both their own acquaintances and strangers.
