    • 1870, Михаил Салтыков-Щедрин, “Органчик”, in История одного города; English translation from I. P. Foote, transl., The History of a Town, Oxford: Willem A. Meeuws, 1980:
      Тем не менее из всех этих рассказов никакого ясного результата не выходило. Публика начала даже склоняться в пользу того мнения. что вся эта история есть не что иное, как выдумка праздных людей, но потом, припомнив лондонских агитаторов и переходя от одного силлогизма к другому, заключила, что измена свила себе гнездо в самом Глупове.
      Tem ne meneje iz vsex etix rasskazov nikakovo jasnovo rezulʹtata ne vyxodilo. Publika načala daže sklonjatʹsja v polʹzu tovo mnenija. što vsja eta istorija jestʹ ne što inoje, kak vydumka prazdnyx ljudej, no potom, pripomniv londonskix agitatorov i perexodja ot odnovo sillogizma k drugomu, zaključila, što izmena svila sebe gnezdo v samom Glupove.
      Still, from all these stories nothing very clear emerged. Those present were rather inclined to think that the whole business was nothing more than a story invented by idle folk, but then they remembered about the London agitators and by adding one thing to another they came to the conclusion that treason had found its way into Glupov itself.
