    • 1869, Иван Гончаров [Ivan Goncharov], “Часть I. Глава XIII”, in Обрыв; English translation from Stephen Pearl, transl., Malinovka Heights, Alma Classics, 2020:
      Испуга́ть и оскорби́ть её́ нельзя́, а она́ не заду́мается, для мще́ния и́ли для заба́вы, разру́шить семе́йное сча́стие, споко́йствие челове́ка, не говоря́ о форту́не: разруша́ть экономи́ческое благосостоя́ние — её́ призва́ние.
      Ispugátʹ i oskorbítʹ jejó nelʹzjá, a oná ne zadúmajetsja, dlja mščénija íli dlja zabávy, razrúšitʹ seméjnoje sčástije, spokójstvije čelovéka, ne govorjá o fortúne: razrušátʹ ekonomíčeskoje blagosostojánije — jejó prizvánije.
      You had better not insult or intimidate her or she won’t hesitate either to take revenge, or just for the hell of it, destroy your family happiness, and your peace of mind, not to mention the threat to your fortune, and indeed your financial ruin – it comes with her territory.
