1868, Иван Тургенев [Ivan Turgenev], chapter III, in Бригадир; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., The Brigadier, 1894:— Кни́жки-то пусты́е; не для тепе́решних госпо́д пи́саны.
— Ты их чита́л?
— Не чита́л, не стал бы говори́ть. Со́нник, наприме́р… э́то что ж за кни́га? Ну, есть други́е… то́лько вы их то́же не ста́нете чита́ть.- — Knížki-to pustýje; ne dlja tepérešnix gospód písany.
— Ty ix čitál?
— Ne čitál, ne stal by govorítʹ. Sónnik, naprimér… éto što ž za kníga? Nu, jestʹ drugíje… tólʹko vy ix tóže ne stánete čitátʹ. - 'They're books of no value; not written for the gentlemen of these days.'
