    • 1896, Антон Чехов [Anton Chekhov], “I”, in Моя жизнь; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., My Life, 1920:
      Э́та преле́стная у́лица отча́сти заменя́ла сад, так как по о́бе сто́роны её́ росли́ то́поли, кото́рые благоуха́ли, осо́бенно по́сле дождя́, и и́з-за забо́ров и палиса́дников нависа́ли ака́ции, высо́кие кусты́ сире́ни, черё́муха, я́блони.
      Éta preléstnaja úlica otčásti zamenjála sad, tak kak po óbe stórony jejó roslí tópoli, kotóryje blagouxáli, osóbenno pósle doždjá, i íz-za zabórov i palisádnikov navisáli akácii, vysókije kustý siréni, čerjómuxa, jábloni.
      This charming street did to some extent take the place of a public garden, as on each side of it there was a row of poplars which smelt sweet, particularly after rain, and acacias, tall bushes of lilac, wild-cherries and apple-trees hung over the fences and palings.
