    • 1881, Николай Лесков [Nikolai Leskov], “Глава третья”, 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:
      Я ви́дел, что име́ю де́ло с о́чень убеждё́нной после́довательницей спирити́зма, кото́рая прито́м не обделена́ умо́м, о́пытностью и образова́нием, и потому́ чрезвыча́йно всем э́тим заинтересова́лся.
      Ja vídel, što iméju délo s óčenʹ ubeždjónnoj poslédovatelʹnicej spiritízma, kotóraja pritóm ne obdelená umóm, ópytnostʹju i obrazovánijem, i potomú črezvyčájno vsem étim zainteresoválsja.
      I could see that I was dealing with a very convinced follower of spiritualism, who besides was not without her share of intelligence, experience, and education, and therefore I became extremely interested in it all.
