1880, Фёдор Достоевский , “Книга восьмая. I”, in Братья Карамазовы; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., The Brothers Karamazov, 1912:Тут, кста́ти, ну́жно обозна́чить оди́н твёрдый факт: он вполне́ был уве́рен, что Фёдор Па́влович непреме́нно предло́жит (е́сли уж не предложи́л) Гру́шеньке зако́нный брак, и не ве́рил ни мину́ты, что ста́рый сластолю́бец наде́ется отде́латься лишь тремя́ ты́сячами.- Tut, kstáti, núžno oboznáčitʹ odín tvjórdyj fakt: on vpolné byl uvéren, što Fjódor Pávlovič nepreménno predlóžit (jésli už ne predložíl) Grúšenʹke zakónnyj brak, i ne véril ni minúty, što stáryj slastoljúbec nadéjetsja otdélatʹsja lišʹ tremjá týsjačami.
- Here, we must note, by the way, one certain fact: he was firmly persuaded that Fyodor Pavlovitch would offer, or perhaps had offered, Grushenka lawful wedlock, and did not for a moment believe that the old voluptuary hoped to gain his object for three thousand roubles.
