    • 1869, Лев Толстой [Leo Tolstoy], “Том 2, Часть пятая, XXII”, in Война и мир; English translation from Aylmer and Louise Maude, transl., War and Peace, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1922–1923:
      При въе́зде на Арба́тскую пло́щадь, огро́мное простра́нство звёздного тёмного не́ба откры́лось глаза́м Пье́ра. Почти́ в середи́не э́того не́ба над Пречи́стенским бульва́ром, окружённая, обсы́панная со всех сторо́н звёздами, но отлича́ясь от всех бли́зостью к земле́, бе́лым све́том, и дли́нным, по́днятым кве́рху хвосто́м, стоя́ла огро́мная я́ркая коме́та 1812-го го́да, та са́мая коме́та, кото́рая предвеща́ла, как говори́ли, вся́кие у́жасы и коне́ц све́та.
      Pri vʺjézde na Arbátskuju plóščadʹ, ogrómnoje prostránstvo zvjózdnovo tjómnovo néba otkrýlosʹ glazám Pʹjéra. Počtí v seredíne étovo néba nad Prečístenskim bulʹvárom, okružónnaja, obsýpannaja so vsex storón zvjózdami, no otličájasʹ ot vsex blízostʹju k zemlé, bélym svétom, i dlínnym, pódnjatym kvérxu xvostóm, stojála ogrómnaja járkaja kométa 1812-go góda, ta sámaja kométa, kotóraja predveščála, kak govoríli, vsjákije úžasy i konéc svéta.
      At the entrance to the Arbát Square an immense expanse of dark starry sky presented itself to his eyes. Almost in the center of it, above the Prechístenka Boulevard, surrounded and sprinkled on all sides by stars but distinguished from them all by its nearness to the earth, its white light, and its long uplifted tail, shone the enormous and brilliant comet of ​1812—the comet which was said to portend all kinds of woes and the end of the world.
