    • 1860, Иван Тургенев , “Глава 9”, in Первая любовь; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., First Love, 1897:
      Он был хоро́ш собо́ю, ло́вок и умён, но что́-то сомни́тельное, что́-то фальши́вое чу́дилось в нём да́же мне, шестнадцатиле́тнему ма́льчику, и я диви́лся тому́, что Зинаи́да э́того не замеча́ет.
      On byl xoróš sobóju, lóvok i umjón, no štó-to somnítelʹnoje, štó-to falʹšívoje čúdilosʹ v njom dáže mne, šestnadcatilétnemu málʹčiku, i ja divílsja tomú, što Zinaída étovo ne zamečájet.
      He was handsome, clever, and adroit, but something equivocal, something false in him was apparent even to me, a boy of sixteen, and I marvelled that Zinaïda did not notice it.
