    • 1842, Николай Гоголь , “Том I, Глава V”, in Мёртвые души; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., Dead Souls—A Poem, London: Chatto & Windus, 1922:
      Дере́вня показа́лась ему́ дово́льно велика́; два ле́са, берёзовый и сосно́вый, как два крыла́, одно́ темне́е, друго́е светле́е, бы́ли у ней спра́ва и сле́ва; посреди́ видне́лся деревя́нный дом с мезони́ном, кра́сной кры́шей и тёмно-се́рыми и́ли, лу́чше, ди́кими сте́нами, — дом вро́де тех, как у нас стро́ят для вое́нных поселе́ний и неме́цких колони́стов.
      Derévnja pokazálasʹ jemú dovólʹno veliká; dva lésa, berjózovyj i sosnóvyj, kak dva krylá, odnó temnéje, drugóje svetléje, býli u nej správa i sléva; posredí vidnélsja derevjánnyj dom s mezonínom, krásnoj krýšej i tjómno-sérymi íli, lúčše, díkimi sténami, — dom vróde tex, kak u nas strójat dlja vojénnyx poselénij i neméckix kolonístov.
      The village struck him as being a fairly large one. Two copses, one of pines, the other of birches, lay like two wings to right and left of it, one darker, one lighter in colour; in the middle was a wooden house with a mezzanine, a red roof, and dark-grey or, to be more accurate, natural-coloured walls; the house was after the style of those that are built amongst us in Russia for military settlements or German colonists.
