    • 1874, Иван Тургенев [Ivan Turgenev], “I. 1830 г.”, in Пунин и Бабурин; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., Punin and Baburin, 1899:
      Смех э́тот и э́то подми́гивание — ка́ждое движе́ние незнако́мца, его́ шепеля́вый, сла́бый го́лос, вы́гнутые коле́ни, худоща́вые ру́ки, са́мый его́ карту́з, его́ дли́нный балахо́н — всё в нём дыша́ло доброду́шием, че́м-то неви́нным и заба́вным.
      Smex étot i éto podmígivanije — káždoje dvižénije neznakómca, jevó šepeljávyj, slábyj gólos, výgnutyje koléni, xudoščávyje rúki, sámyj jevó kartúz, jevó dlínnyj balaxón — vsjo v njom dyšálo dobrodúšijem, čém-to nevínnym i zabávnym.
      The laugh and the wink—every gesture of the stranger, his weak, lisping voice, his bent knees and thin hands, his very cap and long frieze coat—everything about him suggested good-nature, something innocent and droll.
