    • 1930, Владимир Набоков, chapter 3, in Защита Лужина; English translation from Michael Scammell in collaboration with the author, transl., The Luzhin Defense, New York, 1964:
      Лужин сидел на ковре, плечом касаясь её колена, и глядел на её руку в тонком платиновом браслете, которая поднимала и ставила фигуры.
      Lužin sidel na kovre, plečom kasajasʹ jejó kolena, i gljadel na jejó ruku v tonkom platinovom braslete, kotoraja podnimala i stavila figury.
      Luzhin sat on the carpet with his shoulder against her knee and watched her hand with its thin platinum bracelet picking up the chessmen and putting them down.
