Ivan Markovich
also: Иван Маркович, Ivan Markovich
Sasha Uskov's uncle on his mother's side, a kindly and soft-spoken man who argues at length for mercy toward Sasha at the family council, invoking youth's rights, Sasha's hard upbringing, and even Lombroso's theory of criminality; after the uncles agree to pay the note, he is badgered by Sasha into handing over a hundred rubles under threat of a fresh forgery.

- A Problem §40 go tomorrow to my place in the country to occupy yourself with work
Exile to a rural estate to "occupy himself with work" was a familiar genteel-family remedy for a wayward young relative -- removing him from the temptations and society of the city under the guise of reform; Sasha's plan, within minutes, to instead spend the night celebrating at the "Bear" undercuts the condition entirely.
