    • 1872, Фёдор Достоевский, “Часть 3. Глава 2. Окончание праздника”, in Бесы; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., Demons, 1994:
      — Я всё в буфете и наблюдаю, — прошептал он с видом виноватого школьника, впрочем нарочно подделанным, чтобы ещё более её раздразнить.
      — Ja vsjo v bufete i nabljudaju, — prošeptal on s vidom vinovatovo školʹnika, vpročem naročno poddelannym, štoby ješčó boleje jejó razdraznitʹ.
