    • 1894, Иван Бунин, chapter I, in Учитель; English translation from The Teacher, (Please provide a date or year):
      Сквозь дремо́ту он слы́шал, как приходи́л сто́рож Па́вел, обива́л от сне́га ла́пти, кря́кал с моро́за, сморка́лся и греме́л вёдрами; ви́дел сквозь полузакры́тые ве́ки, что в ко́мнате разлива́ется о́тсвет зака́та, и чу́вствовал, что от хо́лода сты́нут но́ги и ко́нчик но́са…
      Skvozʹ dremótu on slýšal, kak prixodíl stórož Pável, obivál ot snéga lápti, krjákal s moróza, smorkálsja i gremél vjódrami; vídel skvozʹ poluzakrýtyje véki, što v kómnate razlivájetsja ótsvet zakáta, i čúvstvoval, što ot xóloda stýnut nógi i kónčik nósa…
