    • 1847, Фёдор Достоевский , “Часть первая. I”, in Хозяйка; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., The Landlady, 1914:
      Ча́сто кака́я-нибудь ме́лочь поража́ла его́, рожда́ла иде́ю, и ему́ впервы́е ста́ло доса́дно за то, что он так за́живо погрёб себя́ в свое́й ке́лье.
      Částo kakája-nibudʹ méločʹ poražála jevó, roždála idéju, i jemú vpervýje stálo dosádno za to, što on tak záživo pogrjób sebjá v svojéj kélʹje.
      Often some trifle impressed him, gave rise to an idea, and for the first time he felt vexed that he had so buried himself alive in his cell.
