    • 1869, Иван Гончаров [Ivan Goncharov], “Часть II. Глава XII”, in Обрыв, Санкт-Петербург: Вестник Европы; English translation from Stephen Pearl, transl., Malinovka Heights, Alma Classics, 2020:
      Она́ была́ живу́ча, как ко́шка, и бы́стро оправля́лась от побо́ев, сама́ дру́жно и бессты́дно разделя́ла смех дво́рни над ре́вностью му́жа, над его́ стара́ниями испра́вить её и да́же над побо́ями.
      Oná bylá živúča, kak kóška, i býstro opravljálasʹ ot pobójev, samá drúžno i besstýdno razdeljála smex dvórni nad révnostʹju múža, nad jevó staránijami isprávitʹ jejó i dáže nad pobójami.
      She was as resilient as a cat, and swiftly recovered from her beatings, and blithely and brazenly joined in the laughter of the other servants at the expense of her jealous husband and his futile attempts to bring her to heel, and could even laugh at the beatings she received.
