Vladimir Semyonych Lyadovsky

Vladimir Semyonych

also: Владимир Семеныч Лядовский, Владимир Семеныч, Volodya, Володя

A minor Moscow newspaper critic, vain and utterly persuaded of his own literary importance, who writes a weekly feuilleton and cultivates the outward habits of a man of letters (wreath-laying, petition-signing, drunken 'Gaudeamus' singing); estranged from his sister Vera over her Tolstoyan turn toward non-resistance to evil, he dies forgotten of pneumonia.
