      Всё э́то случи́лось в одно́ вре́мя: ма́льчик подбежа́л к го́лубю и, улыба́ясь, взгляну́л на Лё́вина; го́лубь затреща́л кры́льями и отпорхну́л, блестя́ на со́лнце ме́жду дрожа́щими в во́здухе пыли́нками сне́га, а из око́шка пахну́ло ду́хом печё́ного хле́ба и вы́ставились са́йки.
      Vsjo éto slučílosʹ v odnó vrémja: málʹčik podbežál k gólubju i, ulybájasʹ, vzgljanúl na Ljóvina; gólubʹ zatreščál krýlʹjami i otporxnúl, blestjá na sólnce méždu drožáščimi v vózduxe pylínkami snéga, a iz okóška paxnúlo dúxom pečónovo xléba i výstavilisʹ sájki.
      It all happened at the same time: a boy ran towards a dove and glanced smiling at Levin; the dove, with a whir of her wings, darted away, flashing in the sun, amid grains of snow that quivered in the air, while from a little window there came a smell of fresh-baked bread, and the loaves were put out.
