    • 1916, Александр Куприн , Лапта; English translation from (Please provide a date or year):
      В лапте́ нужны́: нахо́дчивость, глубо́кое дыха́ние, ве́рность свое́й па́ртии, внима́тельность, изворо́тливость, бы́стрый бег, ме́ткий глаз, твёрдость уда́ра руки́ и ве́чная уве́ренность в том, что тебя́ не победя́т.
      V lapté nužný: naxódčivostʹ, glubókoje dyxánije, vérnostʹ svojéj pártii, vnimátelʹnostʹ, izvorótlivostʹ, býstryj beg, métkij glaz, tvjórdostʹ udára rukí i véčnaja uvérennostʹ v tom, što tebjá ne pobedját.
