    • 1869, Лев Толстой [Leo Tolstoy], “Том 3, Часть первая, I”, in Война и мир; English translation from Aylmer and Louise Maude, transl., War and Peace, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1922–1923:
      Когда́ созре́ло я́блоко и па́дает, — отчего́ оно́ па́дает? Оттого́ ли, что тяготе́ет к земле́ оттого́ ли, что засыха́ет сте́ржень, оттого́ ли, что су́шится со́лнцем, что тяжеле́ет, что ве́тер стрясёт его́, оттого́ ли, что стоя́щему внизу́ ма́льчику хо́чется съесть его́?
      Kogdá sozrélo jábloko i pádajet, — otčevó onó pádajet? Ottovó li, što tjagotéjet k zemlé ottovó li, što zasyxájet stérženʹ, ottovó li, što súšitsja sólncem, što tjaželéjet, što véter strjasjót jevó, ottovó li, što stojáščemu vnizú málʹčiku xóčetsja sʺjestʹ jevó?
      When an apple has ripened and falls, why does it fall? Because of its attraction to the earth, because its stalk withers, because it is dried by the sun, because it grows heavier, because the wind shakes it, or because the boy standing below wants to eat it?
