1870, Михаил Салтыков-Щедрин , “Эпоха увольнения от войн”, in История одного города; English translation from I. P. Foote, transl., The History of a Town, Oxford: Willem A. Meeuws, 1980:Говоря́т, наприме́р, что он не име́л никако́го пра́ва прекраща́ть просвеще́ние — э́то так. Но, с друго́й стороны́, е́сли с просвеще́нием фаталисти́чески сопряжены́ экзеку́ции, то не тре́бует ли благоразу́мие, чтоб да́же и в тако́м очеви́дно поле́зном де́ле допуска́лись кра́ткие часы́ для отдохнове́ния?- Govorját, naprimér, što on ne imél nikakóvo práva prekraščátʹ prosveščénije — éto tak. No, s drugój storoný, jésli s prosveščénijem fatalistíčeski soprjažený ekzekúcii, to ne trébujet li blagorazúmije, štob dáže i v takóm očevídno poléznom déle dopuskálisʹ krátkije časý dlja otdoxnovénija?
- They say, for example, that he had no right to suspend enlightenment and this is true. If, on the other hand, enlightenment is necessarily accompanied by various forms of chastisement, then surely reason demands that even in a cause so obviously beneficial some short periods of respite ought to be allowed.
