   • 1899, Максим Горький , Двадцать шесть и одна; English translation from Twenty-Six and One, New York: J. F. Taylor & Company, 1902:

     Иногда́ жизнь челове́ка быва́ет до того́ бедна́, что он нево́льно принуждё́н цени́ть свой поро́к и им жить; и мо́жно сказа́ть, что ча́сто лю́ди быва́ют поро́чны от ску́ки.

     Inogdá žiznʹ čelovéka byvájet do tovó bedná, što on nevólʹno prinuždjón cenítʹ svoj porók i im žitʹ; i móžno skazátʹ, što částo ljúdi byvájut poróčny ot skúki.

     Sometimes a man's life is so poor that he is involuntarily compelled to prize his defect and live by it. It may frankly be said that people are often depraved out of mere weariness.
