    • 1880, Николай Лесков [Nikolai Leskov], “Глава вторая”, in Несмертельный Голован; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., Deathless Golovan, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2013:
      Э́то бы́ло как при бле́ске молоньи́ среди́ тёмной но́чи, когда́ почему́-то вдруг ви́дишь чрезвыча́йное мно́жество предме́тов зараз: за́навес крова́ти, ши́рму, окно́, вздро́гнувшую на жёрдочке канаре́йку и стака́н с сере́бряной ло́жечкой, на ру́чке кото́рой пя́тнышками осе́ла магне́зия.
      Éto býlo kak pri bléske molonʹí sredí tjómnoj nóči, kogdá počemú-to vdrug vídišʹ črezvyčájnoje mnóžestvo predmétov zaraz: zánaves krováti, šírmu, oknó, vzdrógnuvšuju na žórdočke kanaréjku i stakán s serébrjanoj lóžečkoj, na rúčke kotóroj pjátnyškami oséla magnézija.
      It was like a flash of lightning amidst the dark of night, when for some reason you suddenly see an extraordinary multitude of things at once: the bed canopy, the folding screen, the window, the canary fluttering on its perch, and a glass with a silver spoon in it and spots of magnesium on its handle.
