1880, Михаил Салтыков-Щедрин , “Недозволенные семейные радости”, in Господа Головлёвы; English translation from I. P. Foote, transl., The Golovlevs, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1986:— Прока́зница вы, ма́менька! пра́во, прока́зница! — шути́л и он в свою́ о́чередь; но, впро́чем, по своему́ обыкнове́нию, отнёсся к предме́ту семе́йного разгово́ра укло́нчиво.- — Prokáznica vy, mámenʹka! právo, prokáznica! — šutíl i on v svojú óčeredʹ; no, vpróčem, po svojemú obyknovéniju, otnjóssja k predmétu seméjnovo razgovóra uklónčivo.
- ‘Ah, Mother dear, what a one you are! You really are a mischief!’ he responded, jesting in turn; but, as was his wont, evading the real subject of the family conversation.
