    • 1869, Лев Толстой , “Том 1, Часть первая, III”, in Война и мир; English translation from Aylmer and Louise Maude, transl., War and Peace, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1922–1923:
      Вико́нт был милови́дный, с мя́гкими черта́ми и приёмами, молодо́й челове́к, очеви́дно счита́вший себя́ знамени́тостью, но, по благовоспи́танности, скро́мно предоставля́вший по́льзоваться собо́й тому́ о́бществу, в кото́ром он находи́лся.
      Vikónt byl milovídnyj, s mjáxkimi čertámi i prijómami, molodój čelovék, očevídno sčitávšij sebjá znamenítostʹju, no, po blagovospítannosti, skrómno predostavljávšij pólʹzovatʹsja sobój tomú óbščestvu, v kotórom on naxodílsja.
      The vicomte was a nice-looking young man with soft features and polished manners, who evidently considered himself a celebrity but out of politeness modestly placed himself at the disposal of the circle in which he found himself.
