1879, Николай Лесков , “Глава восьмая”, in Однодум; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., Singlemind, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2013:Но са́мая возвы́шенная де́ятельность происходи́ла в центра́льных гнёздах уе́здного властели́нства — в суде́бных канцеля́риях, где де́ло начина́лось с утоми́тельной и ску́чной отме́тки реги́стров, а конча́лось весёлою опера́циею обмета́ния стен и мытья́ поло́в.- No sámaja vozvýšennaja déjatelʹnostʹ proisxodíla v centrálʹnyx gnjózdax ujézdnovo vlastelínstva — v sudébnyx kanceljárijax, gde délo načinálosʹ s utomítelʹnoj i skúčnoj otmétki regístrov, a končálosʹ vesjóloju operácijeju obmetánija sten i mytʹjá polóv.
