    • 1872, Фёдор Достоевский, “Часть 3. Глава 2. Окончание праздника”, in Бесы; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., Demons, 1994:
      Что до мужчи́н, то, несмотря́ на компа́ктное отсу́тствие всей на́шей зна́ти, ма́сса их всё́-таки была́ густа́, но производи́ла двусмы́сленное и подозри́тельное впечатле́ние.
      Što do mužčín, to, nesmotrjá na kompáktnoje otsútstvije vsej nášej znáti, mássa ix vsjó-taki bylá gustá, no proizvodíla dvusmýslennoje i podozrítelʹnoje vpečatlénije.
      As for the men, their mass was still indeed dense, despite the compact absence of all our nobility, but produced an ambiguous and suspicious impression.
