    • 1836, Александр Пушкин, “Глава VI. Пугачёвщина”, in Капитанская дочка, London: Henry S. King & Co.; English translation from Ekaterina Telfer, transl., The Captain's Daughter, 1875:
      Когда вспомню, что это случилось на моём веку и что ныне дожил я до кроткого царствования императора Александра, не могу не дивиться быстрым успехам просвещения и распространению правил человеколюбия.
      Kogda vspomnju, što eto slučilosʹ na mojóm veku i što nyne dožil ja do krotkovo carstvovanija imperatora Aleksandra, ne mogu ne divitʹsja bystrym uspexam prosveščenija i rasprostraneniju pravil čelovekoljubija.
      When I call to mind that this has happened in my life-time, and that I have lived to see the mild reign of the Emperor Alexander, I cannot but marvel at the rapid strides civilization has made, and at the diffusion of humane measures.
