    • 1879, Николай Лесков, “Глава четвёртая”, in Чертогон; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., The Devil-Chase, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2013:
      Рестора́н представля́л полне́йшее разоре́ние: ни одно́й драпиро́вки, ни одного́ це́лого зе́ркала, да́же потоло́чная лю́стра — и та лежа́ла на полу́ вся в куска́х, и хруста́льные при́змы её лома́лись под нога́ми е́ле броди́вшей, утомлённой прислу́ги.
      Restorán predstavljál polnéjšeje razorénije: ni odnój drapiróvki, ni odnovó célovo zérkala, dáže potolóčnaja ljústra — i ta ležála na polú vsja v kuskáx, i xrustálʹnyje prízmy jejó lomálisʹ pod nogámi jéle brodívšej, utomljónnoj prislúgi.
      The restaurant was a picture of total devastation: not a single drape, not a single intact mirror, even the overhead chandelier lay all in pieces on the floor, and its crystal prisms crunched under the feet of the barely stirring, exhausted waiters.
