    • 1881, Николай Лесков, “Глава пятнадцатая”, in Дух госпожи Жанлис; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., The Spirit of Madame de Genlis, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2013:
      Положе́ние бы́ло преглу́пое: вдруг переста́ть посеща́ть знако́мый дом выходи́ло гру́бостью, а яви́ться туда́ — то́же каза́лось некста́ти.
      Položénije býlo preglúpoje: vdrug perestátʹ poseščátʹ znakómyj dom vyxodílo grúbostʹju, a javítʹsja tudá — tóže kazálosʹ nekstáti.
      The situation was a most stupid one: to suddenly stop visiting acquaintances would be rude, but to appear there also seemed inappropriate.
