In another of his novels, the titular friend of Lezhnev impresses the household of Darya Mikhailovna and falls in love with Natasha. Vassily Vassilevitch goes to Alexander Mikhalyich's dinner party in this man's story "Hamlet of the Shchigrovsky District," and this man wrote about Elena's fascination with the Bulgarian Insarov in On the Eve.
