    • 1870, Михаил Салтыков-Щедрин , “Сказание о шести градоначальниках”, in История одного города; English translation from I. P. Foote, transl., The History of a Town, Oxford: Willem A. Meeuws, 1980:
      Едва́ просты́л след рассы́льного, увёзшего самозва́нцев, едва́ узна́ли глу́повцы, что они́ оста́лись совсе́м без градонача́льника, как, дви́жимые си́лою начальстволю́бия, неме́дленно впа́ли в ана́рхию.
      Jedvá prostýl sled rassýlʹnovo, uvjózševo samozváncev, jedvá uználi glúpovcy, što oní ostálisʹ sovsém bez gradonačálʹnika, kak, dvížimyje síloju načalʹstvoljúbija, nemédlenno vpáli v anárxiju.
      Hardly had the messenger set off with the pretenders, and hardly had the Glupovites realized that they were now left with no governor at all, than, stirred by their ardent love of authority, they promptly lapsed into anarchy.
