- 1848, Dmitrij Davydov, “Думы беглеца на Байкале (Thoughts of a Runaway in Baikal)”
Шëл я и в ночь — и средь белого дня;
Близ городов я поглядывал зорко;
Хлебом кормили крестьянки меня,
Парни снабжали махоркoй.- Šël ja i v nočʹ — i sredʹ belovo dnja;
Bliz gorodov ja pogljadyval zorko;
Xlebom kormili krestʹjanki menja,
Parni snabžali maxorkoj. - I went by night - and in broad daylight;
Near towns I warily glanced around.
Peasant women fed me bread;
Blokes gave me rustic tobacco.
