Viktor Ivanych Dolzhikov

the engineer

also: Dolzhikov, Viktor Ivanych

A wealthy railway engineer building the line through Misail's district, Masha's father, and the buyer of the Dubechnya estate (formerly the Cheprakovs'). Proud of having risen from engine-driver and common oiler, he is loudly self-made, contemptuous of subordinates (calling every simple workman 'Panteley'), and treats Misail's manual labor as a curious but ultimately foolish whim.
