    • 1869, Лев Толстой [Leo Tolstoy], “Том 2, Часть пятая, XI”, in Война и мир; English translation from Aylmer and Louise Maude, transl., War and Peace, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1922–1923:
      Анато́ль и́скренно люби́л До́лохова за его́ ум и удальство́: До́лохов, кото́рому бы́ли нужны́ и́мя, зна́тность, свя́зи Анато́ля Кура́гина для прима́нки в своё иго́рное о́бщество бога́тых молоды́х люде́й, не дава́я ему́ э́того чу́вствовать, по́льзовался и забавля́лся Кура́гиным.
      Anatólʹ ískrenno ljubíl Dóloxova za jevó um i udalʹstvó: Dóloxov, kotóromu býli nužný ímja, znátnostʹ, svjázi Anatólja Kurágina dlja primánki v svojó igórnoje óbščestvo bogátyx molodýx ljudéj, ne davája jemú étovo čúvstvovatʹ, pólʹzovalsja i zabavljálsja Kuráginym.
      Anatole was sincerely fond of Dólokhov for his cleverness and audacity. Dólokhov, who needed Anatole Kurágin's name, position, and connections as a bait to draw rich young men into his gambling set, made use of him and amused himself at his expense without letting the other feel it.
