also: Kostya Kochevoy, Konstantin Ivanych

A junior barrister and the orphaned son of a drunkard clerk the elder Laptevs once took in and educated out of charity (as Nina Fyodorovna recalls in Part IX); raised alongside the Laptev brothers and now their close friend and tenant, he writes unpublished sentimental gentry-estate novels in secret, defends petty criminals with florid, evasive courtroom rhetoric, and becomes Yulia Sergeyevna's confidant during her unhappiest married years.
