    • 1869, Лев Толстой [Leo Tolstoy], “Том 3, Часть первая, I”, in Война и мир; English translation from Aylmer and Louise Maude, transl., War and Peace, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1922–1923:
      Де́йствия Наполео́на и Алекса́ндра, от сло́ва кото́рых зави́село, каза́лось, что́бы собы́тие соверши́лось и́ли не соверши́лось — бы́ли так же ма́ло произво́льны, как и де́йствие ка́ждого солда́та, ше́дшего в похо́д по жре́бию и́ли по набо́ру.
      Déjstvija Napoleóna i Aleksándra, ot slóva kotóryx zavíselo, kazálosʹ, štóby sobýtije soveršílosʹ íli ne soveršílosʹ — býli tak že málo proizvólʹny, kak i déjstvije káždovo soldáta, šédševo v poxód po žrébiju íli po nabóru.
      The actions of Napoleon and Alexander, on whose words the event seemed to hang, were as little voluntary as the actions of any soldier who was drawn into the campaign by lot or by conscription.
