    • 1877, Лев Толстой [Leo Tolstoy], “Часть I Глава XXVI”, in Анна Каренина; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., Anna Karenina, 1901:
      Вошёл прика́зчик и сказа́л, что всё, сла́ва бо́гу, благополу́чно, но сообщи́л, что гре́ча в но́вой суши́лке подгоре́ла. Изве́стие э́то раздражи́ло Лёвина. Но́вая суши́лка была́ вы́строена и ча́стью приду́мана Лёвиным. Прика́зчик был всегда́ про́тив э́той суши́лки и тепе́рь со скры́тым торжество́м объявля́л, что гре́ча подгоре́ла.
      Vošól prikázčik i skazál, što vsjo, sláva bógu, blagopolúčno, no soobščíl, što gréča v nóvoj sušílke podgoréla. Izvéstije éto razdražílo Ljóvina. Nóvaja sušílka bylá výstrojena i částʹju pridúmana Ljóvinym. Prikázčik byl vsegdá prótiv étoj sušílki i tepérʹ so skrýtym toržestvóm obʺjavljál, što gréča podgoréla.
      The bailiff came in, and said everything, thank God, was doing well; but informed him that the buckwheat in the new drying machine had been a little scorched. This piece of news irritated Levin. The new drying machine had been constructed and partly invented by Levin. The bailiff had always been against the drying machine, and now it was with suppressed triumph that he announced that the buckwheat had been scorched.
