    • 1880, Салтыков-Щедрин, “По-родственному”, in Господа Головлёвы; English translation from I. P. Foote, transl., The Golovlevs, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1986:
      Слова эти глубоко запечатлелись в восприимчивой душе Арины Петровны, и смерть мужа, вместе с фантасмагориями будущего, наложили какой-то безнадёжный колорит на весь головлёвский обиход.
      Slova eti gluboko zapečatlelisʹ v vospriimčivoj duše Ariny Petrovny, i smertʹ muža, vmeste s fantasmagorijami buduščevo, naložili kakoj-to beznadjóžnyj kolorit na vesʹ golovljóvskij obixod.
      These words made a deep impression on the sensitive soul of Arina Petrovna, and the death of her husband together with her own phantasmagoria of the future lent a certain tone of hopelessness to the whole way of life in Golovlevo.
