1887, Антон Чехов , Перекати-поле, Санкт-Петербург: Новое время; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., Uprooted, 1919:Гля́дя на сумя́тицу, прислу́шиваясь к шу́му, каза́лось, что в э́той живо́й ка́ше никто́ никого́ не понима́ет, все чего́-то и́щут и не нахо́дят и что э́той ма́ссе теле́г, киби́ток и люде́й едва́ ли уда́стся когда́-нибудь разъе́хаться.- Gljádja na sumjáticu, prislúšivajasʹ k šúmu, kazálosʹ, što v étoj živój káše niktó nikovó ne ponimájet, vse čevó-to íščut i ne naxódjat i što étoj másse telég, kibítok i ljudéj jedvá li udástsja kogdá-nibudʹ razʺjéxatʹsja.
- Looking at the confusion, listening to the uproar, one fancied that in this living hotch-potch no one understood anyone, that everyone was looking for something and would not find it, and that this multitude of carts, chaises and human beings could not ever succeed in getting off.
