Grigory Petrovich Likharev

Likharev

also: Григорий Петрович Лихарев, Лихарев

A ruined ex-landowner of forty-two, brother of a district marshal of the nobility, stranded overnight with his young daughter Sasha at a rural inn during a Christmas Eve blizzard; over tea he confesses to Ilovaiskaya the arc of his life as a restless succession of total convictions (piety, science, nihilism, populism, Slavophilism, non-resistance to evil) that has cost him his fortune, his health, his wife's life, and now settles into a rapturous theory of woman as redemptive, self-sacrificing believer.
