    • 1840, Михаил Лермонтов, “Часть первая. I. Бэла”, in Герой нашего времени; English translation from Martin Parker, transl., A Hero of Our Time, Moscow: Foreign Languages Publishing House, 1951:
      На тёмном небе начинали мелькать звёзды, и странно, мне показалось, что оно гораздо выше, чем у нас на севере.
      Na tjómnom nebe načinali melʹkatʹ zvjózdy, i stranno, mne pokazalosʹ, što ono gorazdo vyše, čem u nas na severe.
      Stars began to twinkle in the dark sky, and strangely enough it seemed that they were far higher here than in our northern sky.
