person
"Dr. Zaitsev"
Dr. Zaitsev
also: Д-р Зайцев, Doctor Zaitsev
FICTIONAL ALIAS invented BY THE NARRATOR within the story, not a separate real character: the false name the narrator signs to the nonsense Latin prescription ("Rp. Sic transit gloria mundi...") after impersonating a doctor to Fedya and Zinochka.
Reading notes
- The Night Before the Trial §49 Dr. Zaitsev
FICTIONAL ALIAS, not a separate real character: "Зайцев" ("Zaitsev," from заяц, "hare") is the false name the unnamed narrator signs to the prescription -- almost certainly a wink back at the hare that crossed the road as a bad omen in section 1.
