    • 1885, Николай Лесков [Nikolai Leskov], “Глава первая”, in Жемчужное ожерелье; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., The Pearl Necklace, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2013:
      Я припо́мнил и рассказа́л одно́ характе́рное замеча́ние поко́йного Пи́семского, кото́рый говори́л, бу́дто усма́триваемое литерату́рное оскуде́ние пре́жде всего́ свя́зано с размноже́нием желе́зных доро́г, кото́рые о́чень поле́зны торго́вле, но для худо́жественной литерату́ры вредны́.
      Ja pripómnil i rasskazál odnó xaraktérnoje zamečánije pokójnovo Písemskovo, kotóryj govoríl, búdto usmátrivajemoje literatúrnoje oskudénije préžde vsevó svjázano s razmnožénijem želéznyx doróg, kotóryje óčenʹ polézny torgóvle, no dlja xudóžestvennoj literatúry vredný.
      I remembered and recounted a characteristic observation of the late Pisemsky, who said that the perceived impoverishment of literature was connected first of all with the multiplication of railroads, which are very useful for commerce, but harmful for artistic literature.
