    • 1880, Фёдор Достоевский , “Книга вторая. VII”, in Братья Карамазовы; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., The Brothers Karamazov, 1912:
      — Ты про э́ту же́нщину ошиба́ешься. Дми́трий её презира́ет, — ка́к-то вздра́гивая, проговори́л Алёша.
      — Гру́шеньку-то? Нет, брат, не презира́ет. Уж когда́ неве́сту свою́ въявь на неё променя́л, то не презира́ет.
      — Ty pro étu žénščinu ošibáješʹsja. Dmítrij jejó prezirájet, — kák-to vzdrágivaja, progovoríl Aljóša.
      — Grúšenʹku-to? Net, brat, ne prezirájet. Už kogdá nevéstu svojú vʺjavʹ na nejó promenjál, to ne prezirájet.
      "You are mistaken about that woman. Dmitri despises her," said Alyosha, with a sort of shudder.
      "Grushenka? No, brother, he doesn't despise her. Since he has openly abandoned his betrothed for her, he doesn't despise her."
