1905, Фёдор Сологуб [Fyodor Sologub], chapter X, in Мелкий бес; English translation from John Cournos and Richard Aldington, transl., The Little Demon, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1916:Продолжа́я говори́ть, Верига встал и, упру́го упира́ясь в край стола́ па́льцами пра́вой руки́, гляде́л на Передо́нова с тем безли́чно-любе́зным и внима́тельным выраже́нием, с кото́рым смо́трят на толпу́, произнося́ благоскло́нно-нача́льнические ре́чи.- Prodolžája govorítʹ, Veriga vstal i, uprúgo upirájasʹ v kraj stolá pálʹcami právoj rukí, gljadél na Peredónova s tem bezlíčno-ljubéznym i vnimátelʹnym vyražénijem, s kotórym smótrjat na tolpú, proiznosjá blagosklónno-načálʹničeskije réči.
- As he continued to speak, Veriga rose and, pressing heavily on the edge of the table with the fingers of his right hand, looked at Peredonov with that impersonally affable and attentive expression with which an orator looks at a crowd when pronouncing benevolent official speeches.
