   • 1869, Лев Толстой [Leo Tolstoy], “Том 2, Часть вторая, VI”, in Война и мир; English translation from Aylmer and Louise Maude, transl., War and Peace, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1922–1923:

     Когда́ разгово́р заходи́л о её му́же, Эле́н принима́ла досто́йное выраже́ние, кото́рое она́ — хотя́ и не понима́я его́ значе́ния — по сво́йственному ей та́кту, усво́ила себе́.

     Kogdá razgovór zaxodíl o jejó múže, Elén prinimála dostójnoje vyražénije, kotóroje oná — xotjá i ne ponimája jevó značénija — po svójstvennomu jej táktu, usvóila sebé.

     When conversation turned on her husband Hélène assumed a dignified expression, which with characteristic tact she had acquired though she did not understand its significance.
