person
Voronov
also: Воронов
A rich peasant of Yeresnevo who promised to build the village a school, put up only the frame, and left the peasants to finish and pay for the rest themselves -- the precedent Lychkov the father cites when Elena Ivanovna makes the engineer's family's own promise of a school, and the butt of Kozov's raven-and-rook pun on his name (voron, "raven").
