Sarah Bezak
Bezak
also: Безак, Сарра, Sarah, Sarra
The young pawnshop employee ('Sarah'/'Sarra') murdered in the real 1883-1885 St. Petersburg case that gave the Mironovich trial its notoriety -- her exhumed remains and disputed hair evidence are the grim comic engine of Grisha's rant.
Reading notes
- Psychopaths §19 Bezak
One rendering of the murder victim's surname circulating in trial coverage; Chekhov's text uses it alongside 'Sarra'/Sarah, the given name by which the victim is more commonly remembered in the case.
