Borkin

also: Боркин, Михаил Михайлович Боркин

FICTIONAL CHARACTER, Mikhail Mikhailovich Borkin, a distant relative of Ivanov's and the manager of his estate in Chekhov's play "Ivanov"; a restless, scheming opportunist full of get-rich-quick and matchmaking schemes (including offering, half in jest, to marry Babakina himself for Ivanov's benefit), whose comic energy plays against the drama's prevailing gloom.
