Rashevich

also: Рашевич, Павел Ильич Рашевич, the toad

Impoverished, garrulous landowner in 'At the Manor' who lectures his young guest at length on hereditary 'white bone' aristocracy and Darwinist race theory, only to be humiliated when the guest reveals he is himself low-born; nicknamed 'the toad' behind his back by his neighbors and, by the story's end, by his own daughters.
