    • 1913, Максим Горький , “VIII”, in Детство; English translation from Ronald Wilks, transl., My Childhood, 1966:
      Загляну́л со двора́ в окно́ его́ ко́мнаты, — она́ была́ пуста́ и похо́жа на чула́н, куда́ на́скоро, в беспоря́дке, бро́шены ра́зные нену́жные ве́щи, — таки́е же нену́жные и стра́нные, как их хозя́ин.
      Zagljanúl so dvorá v oknó jevó kómnaty, — oná bylá pustá i poxóža na čulán, kudá náskoro, v besporjádke, bróšeny ráznyje nenúžnyje véšči, — takíje že nenúžnyje i stránnyje, kak ix xozjáin.
      I looked through the window of his room. It was empty and resembled an attic into which a lot of useless things had been thrown hastily and untidily – things as useless and as strange as their owner.
