1873, Николай Лесков , “Глава двенадцатая”, in Очарованный странник; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., The Enchanted Wanderer, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2013:Вы́лупился, зна́ете, во всю мочь, и ви́жу, бу́дто на меня́ и́з-за всех угло́в тёмных ра́зные ме́рзкие ро́жи на но́жках смо́трят, и доро́гу мне перебега́ют, и на перекрёстках стоя́т, ждут и говоря́т: «Убьём его́ и возьмём сокро́вище».- Výlupilsja, znájete, vo vsju močʹ, i vížu, búdto na menjá íz-za vsex uglóv tjómnyx ráznyje mérzkije róži na nóžkax smótrjat, i dorógu mne perebegájut, i na perekrjóstkax stoját, ždut i govorját: «Ubʹjóm jevó i vozʹmjóm sokróvišče».
- I peel my eyes for all I’m worth, you know, and it’s as if I see various vile mugs on little legs gazing at me from all the dark corners, and running across my path, and standing at the intersections, waiting and saying: “Let’s kill him and take the treasure.”
