Savka

also: Савка, Савва Стукач, Savva Stukach

A handsome, sound, twenty-five-year-old gardener of preternatural laziness, assigned by the village commune to watch the communal gardens as an old man's sinecure; women bring him food and clothing out of pity or attraction, and he receives Agafya's affections with the same careless, half-contemptuous ease he brings to everything else.
