    • 1892, Антон Чехов [Anton Chekhov], “Глава III”, in Палата № 6; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., Ward No. 6, 1921:
      Побыва́в у мещани́на и возвраща́ясь к себе́ домо́й, он встре́тил о́коло по́чты знако́мого полице́йского надзира́теля, кото́рый поздоро́вался и прошёл с ним по у́лице не́сколько шаго́в, и почему́-то э́то показа́лось ему́ подозри́тельным.
      Pobyváv u meščanína i vozvraščájasʹ k sebé domój, on vstrétil ókolo póčty znakómovo policéjskovo nadzirátelja, kotóryj pozdoróvalsja i prošól s nim po úlice néskolʹko šagóv, i počemú-to éto pokazálosʹ jemú podozrítelʹnym.
      After visiting the artisan, on the way home he met near the post office a police superintendent of his acquaintance, who greeted him and walked a few paces along the street with him, and for some reason this seemed to him suspicious.
