- 1885, Николай Лесков [Nikolai Leskov], “Глава пятая”, in Пугало; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., The Spook, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2013:
- Изве́стно, что дья́вол и его́ помо́щники име́ют большу́ю охо́ту де́лать лю́дям вся́кое зло; но осо́бенно им нра́вится вынима́ть из люде́й ду́ши так неожи́данно, что́бы они́ не успе́ли очи́стить себя́ покая́нием.
- Izvéstno, što dʹjávol i jevó pomóščniki iméjut bolʹšúju oxótu délatʹ ljúdjam vsjákoje zlo; no osóbenno im nrávitsja vynimátʹ iz ljudéj dúši tak neožídanno, štóby oní ne uspéli očístitʹ sebjá pokajánijem.
- It’s a known thing that the devil and his helpers have a great eagerness to do people all sorts of evil; but they especially like taking people’s souls out of them unexpectedly, so that they have no time to purify themselves by repentance.
