- 1831, Александр Пушкин, “Красная плошадь”, in Борис Годунов; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., Boris Godunov, 2023:
- Неумолим! Он от себя прогнал
Святителей, бояр и патриарха.
Они пред ним напрасно пали ниц;
Его страшит сияние престола.- Neumolim! On ot sebja prognal
Svjatitelej, bojar i patriarxa.
Oni pred nim naprasno pali nic;
Jevo strašit sijanije prestola. - He is implacable! He drove away
The bishops, the boyars, and the patriarch.
In vain did they prostrate themselves before him;
He cannot bear the glory of the throne.
- Neumolim! On ot sebja prognal
