1880, Михаил Салтыков-Щедрин , “По-родственному”, in Господа Головлёвы; English translation from I. P. Foote, transl., The Golovlevs, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1986:Оставля́я Дубро́вино, он вы́сказал пря́мо, что больно́му остаётся жить не бо́льше двух дней и что тепе́рь по́здно ду́мать об каки́х-нибудь «распоряже́ниях», потому́ что он и фами́лии путём подписа́ть не мо́жет.- Ostavljája Dubróvino, on výskazal prjámo, što bolʹnómu ostajótsja žitʹ ne bólʹše dvux dnej i što tepérʹ pózdno dúmatʹ ob kakíx-nibudʹ «rasporjažénijax», potomú što on i famílii putjóm podpisátʹ ne móžet.
- On leaving Dubrovino he bluntly declared that the sick man had not more than two days to live and that it was now too late to think of any ‘arrangements’, since he would be incapable even of signing his name properly.
