1877, Иван Тургенев [Ivan Turgenev], “Часть первая. VIII”, in Новь; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., Virgin Soil, 1920:Прие́хал друго́й сосе́д, с уны́лым, беззу́бым лицо́м, но чрезвыча́йно чи́сто оде́тый; прие́хал уе́здный до́ктор, весьма́ плохо́й врач, люби́вший щеголя́ть учёными те́рминами: он уверя́л, наприме́р, что предпочита́ет Ку́кольника Пу́шкину, потому́ что в Ку́кольнике мно́го «протопла́змы».- Prijéxal drugój soséd, s unýlym, bezzúbym licóm, no črezvyčájno čísto odétyj; prijéxal ujézdnyj dóktor, vesʹmá ploxój vrač, ljubívšij ščegoljátʹ učónymi términami: on uverjál, naprimér, što predpočitájet Kúkolʹnika Púškinu, potomú što v Kúkolʹnike mnógo «protoplázmy».
- There came, too, another neighbour with a dejected, toothless countenance, but exceedingly sprucely dressed; and the district practitioner, a very ignorant doctor, who liked to show off with learned terms; he asserted, for instance, that he preferred Kukolnik to Pushkin because there was so much 'protoplasm' in Kukolnik.
