    • 1930, Владимир Набоков, chapter 3, in Защита Лужина; English translation from Michael Scammell in collaboration with the author, transl., The Luzhin Defense, New York, 1964:
      Ранец, теперь пустой, был так лёгок, что прыгал на лопатках. Надо было как-нибудь провести время до часа обычных возвращений. Он побрёл в Таврический сад, и пустота в ранце постепенно стала его раздражать.
      Ranec, teperʹ pustoj, byl tak ljógok, što prygal na lopatkax. Nado bylo kak-nibudʹ provesti vremja do časa obyčnyx vozvraščenij. On pobrjól v Tavričeskij sad, i pustota v rance postepenno stala jevo razdražatʹ.
      His satchel, now empty, was so light that it bounced on his shoulder blades. He had to pass time somehow until the usual hour of return. He wandered into Tavricheski Park, and the emptiness in his satchel gradually began to annoy him.
