    • 1904, Леонид Андреев, “Отрывок пятый”, in Красный смех; English translation from Alexandra Linden, transl., The Red Laugh, London: T. Fisher, 1905:
      Доктор был бледен и покачивался, и заметно было, что если он только приляжет — он заснет на несколько суток кряду.
      Doktor byl bleden i pokačivalsja, i zametno bylo, što jesli on tolʹko priljažet — on zasnet na neskolʹko sutok krjadu.
      The doctor was pale and tottering, and one could see that if he were only to lie down for an instant he would fall asleep and remain so without waking for several days running.
