    • 1874, Иван Тургенев [Ivan Turgenev], “I. 1830 г.”, in Пунин и Бабурин; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., Punin and Baburin, 1899:
      — Господи́на Пу́нина, Ника́ндра Вави́лыча, в сию́ мину́ту то́чно нет до́ма, — отвеча́л, не торопя́сь, Бабу́рин, — но позво́льте вам заме́тить, молодо́й челове́к: ра́зве прили́чно — так, не спрося́сь, входи́ть в чужу́ю ко́мнату?
      — Gospodína Púnina, Nikándra Vavílyča, v sijú minútu tóčno net dóma, — otvečál, ne toropjásʹ, Babúrin, — no pozvólʹte vam zamétitʹ, molodój čelovék: rázve prilíčno — tak, ne sprosjásʹ, vxodítʹ v čužúju kómnatu?
      'Mr. Punin, Nikander Vavilitch, at this moment, is not at home, truly,' Baburin responded deliberately; 'but allow me to make ​an observation, young man: it's not the proper thing to come into another person's room like this, without asking leave.'
