    • 1865, Фёдор Достоевский [Fyodor Dostoevsky], “Часть I”, in Крокодил; English translation from The Crocodile, (Please provide a date or year):
      Войдя́ в Пасса́ж, он неме́дленно стал восхища́ться великоле́пием зда́ния, а подойдя́ к магази́ну, в кото́ром пока́зывалось вновь привезённое в столи́цу чудо́вище, сам пожела́л заплати́ть за меня́ четверта́к крокоди́льщику, чего́ пре́жде с ним никогда́ не случа́лось.
      Vojdjá v Passáž, on nemédlenno stal vosxiščátʹsja velikolépijem zdánija, a podojdjá k magazínu, v kotórom pokázyvalosʹ vnovʹ privezjónnoje v stolícu čudóvišče, sam poželál zaplatítʹ za menjá četverták krokodílʹščiku, čevó préžde s nim nikogdá ne slučálosʹ.
      On entering the Arcade he was at once full of admiration for the splendours of the building, and when we reached the shop in which the monster lately arrived in Petersburg was being exhibited, he volunteered to pay the quarter-rouble for me to the crocodile owner — a thing which had never happened before.
