    • 1862, Иван Тургенев, “Глава 20”, in Отцы и дети; English translation from Richard Hare, transl., Fathers and Sons, 1947:
      База́ров вы́сунулся из таранта́са, а Арка́дий вы́тянул го́лову и́з-за спины́ своего́ това́рища и увида́л на крыле́чке госпо́дского до́мика высо́кого, худоща́вого челове́ка, с взъеро́шенными волоса́ми и то́нким орли́ным но́сом, оде́того в ста́рый вое́нный сюрту́к нараспа́шку.
      Bazárov výsunulsja iz tarantása, a Arkádij výtjanul gólovu íz-za spiný svojevó továrišča i uvidál na kryléčke gospódskovo dómika vysókovo, xudoščávovo čelovéka, s vzʺjeróšennymi volosámi i tónkim orlínym nósom, odétovo v stáryj vojénnyj sjurtúk naraspášku.
      Bazarov leaned out of the tarantass, while Arkady stretched out his head from behind his companion's back and saw standing on the steps of the little house a tall thinnish man with ruffled hair and a sharp aquiline nose, dressed in an old military coat, not buttoned up.
