    • 1905, Фёдор Сологуб , chapter XIII, in Мелкий бес; English translation from John Cournos and Richard Aldington, transl., The Little Demon, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1916:
      Передо́нов не сомнева́лся, что раскры́тие в одно́м из гимнази́стов де́вочки обрати́т внима́ние нача́льства и что, кро́ме повыше́ния, ему́ даду́т и о́рден.
      Peredónov ne somneválsja, što raskrýtije v odnóm iz gimnazístov dévočki obratít vnimánije načálʹstva i što, króme povyšénija, jemú dadút i órden.
      Peredonov had no doubt that the discovery of a girl among the students would turn the attention of the authorities to himself, and that, aside from promotion, he would be given a decoration.
