    • 1862, Иван Тургенев [Ivan Turgenev], “Глава 10”, in Отцы и дети; English translation from Richard Hare, transl., Fathers and Sons, 1947:
      Зато́ Па́вел Петро́вич все́ми си́лами души́ свое́й возненави́дел База́рова: он счита́л его́ гордецо́м, наха́лом, ци́ником, плебе́ем; он подозрева́л, что База́ров не уважа́ет его́, что он едва́ ли не презира́ет его́ — его́, Па́вла Кирса́нова!
      Zató Pável Petróvič vsémi sílami duší svojéj voznenavídel Bazárova: on sčitál jevó gordecóm, naxálom, cínikom, plebéjem; on podozrevál, što Bazárov ne uvažájet jevó, što on jedvá li ne prezirájet jevó — jevó, Pávla Kirsánova!
      On the other hand, Pavel Petrovich had grown to hate Bazarov with all the strength of his soul; he regarded him as conceited, impudent, cynical and vulgar, he suspected that Bazarov had no respect for him, that he all but despised him--him, Pavel Kirsanov!
