person
Ivan Ionov
also: Иван Ионов
A local tavern-keeper mentioned in \textit{In the Cart} as the source of gossip about an official's arrest (his tavern is where the carters read the newspapers) and, later, as a peasant who has bought and ditched off a plot of land from the local squire, blocking a shortcut.
Reading notes
- In the Cart §8 at Ivan Ionov's tavern
A local tavern that doubles as an informal newsroom for the carters, who read and repeat newspaper stories there; Semyon's secondhand report of a political killing in Section 6 originates from this hearsay chain.
