Ivanov-Kozelsky
Mr. Ivanov-Kozelsky
also: г. Иванов-Козельский
An invented performer on the squib's mock program, billed to 'weep' a maudlin recitation -- part of the running joke of absurd verbs assigned to each act.
Reading notes
- Departed from Moscow: §7 Mr. Ivanov-Kozelsky
A comic performer invented for the program, cast in the role of a lachrymose reciter -- the verb 'will be wept' rather than 'will recite' sets the mocking tone the rest of the bill follows.
