Vasily
also: Василий, Васька, the coachman
The estate's coachman, summoned by Andrei Andreich to help wrestle the burbot free; he comes running mid-meal, still chewing, and wades in with brisk confidence that proves no more effective than the others' efforts.
Reading notes
- The Burbot §38 coachman Vasily
A kucher (coachman) was a fixture of gentry household staff, responsible for horses and carriage; summoning him mid-meal to wade into a river after a fish is part of the scene's escalating absurdity.
