1880, Николай Лесков , “Глава восьмая”, in Несмертельный Голован; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., Deathless Golovan, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2013:Так я чита́л в сказа́нии, не печа́танном, но ве́рном, спи́санном не по шабло́ну, а с «живо́го ви́дения», и челове́ком, предпочита́вшим пра́вду тенденцио́зной лжи́вости того́ вре́мени.- Tak ja čitál v skazánii, ne pečátannom, no vérnom, spísannom ne po šablónu, a s «živóvo vídenija», i čelovékom, predpočitávšim právdu tendencióznoj lžívosti tovó vrémeni.
- So I read in an account, unprinted but reliable, copied down not from a standard pattern, but from “living vision,” and by someone who preferred the truth to the tendentious mendacity of that time.
