1880, Фёдор Достоевский , “Книга седьмая. III”, in Братья Карамазовы; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., The Brothers Karamazov, 1912:— Теля́чьи не́жности пошли́! — поддразни́л Раки́тин. — А сама́ на коле́нках у него́ сиди́т!

U nevó, polóžim, góre, a u tebjá što? On prótiv bóga svojevó vzbuntoválsja, kolbasú sobirálsja žratʹ…
- "What touching sentimentality!" said Rakitin tauntingly; "and she's sitting on his knee, too! He's got something to grieve over, but what's the matter with you? He is rebelling against his God and ready to eat sausage...."
