person
Miron
also: Мирон
A village folk healer mentioned but never appearing directly; Maxim insists Miron can cure anyone, but Nilov dismisses him as useless (citing Styopka's death despite Miron's treatment) even while briefly trying an unnamed folk remedy of his own before insisting on real doctors.
Reading notes
- The Wolf §13 Miron can cure anyone you like
Village folk healers (znakhari) were widely consulted for rabies bites in the countryside, using whispered charms and herbal draughts, precisely because no medical cure existed; Chekhov, who trained as a physician, sets this folk confidence against Styopka's death by way of foreshadowing that it will not save Nilov either.
