    • 1906, Александр Куприн [Aleksandr I. Kuprin], “5”, in Штабс-капитан Рыбников; English translation from John Middleton Murry, transl., Captain Ribnikov, 1916:
      Влече́ние к же́нщине, подавля́емое до сих пор суро́вой аскети́ческой жи́знью, постоя́нной физи́ческой уста́лостью, напряжё́нной рабо́той ума́ и во́ли, внеза́пно зажгло́сь в нём нестерпи́мым, опьяня́ющим пла́менем.
      Vlečénije k žénščine, podavljájemoje do six por suróvoj asketíčeskoj žíznʹju, postojánnoj fizíčeskoj ustálostʹju, naprjažónnoj rabótoj umá i vóli, vnezápno zažglósʹ v njom nesterpímym, opʹjanjájuščim plámenem.
      His longing for woman had been till now suppressed by his austere, ascetic life, his constant weariness, by the intense exertion of his mind and will: now it devoured him suddenly with an intolerable, intoxicating flame.
