Alexey Sklyarenko: In my previous post I mentioned Gorky's play Deti solntsa ("Children of the Sun...One of the songs that Van, Ada and Lucette listen in Ursus (where they get drunk on champagne: 2.8) is "There's a crag on the Ross, overgrown with wild moss..." The original song about Sten'ka Razin begins: Est' na Volge utyos ("There's a crag on the Volga...")...Onboard the Tobakoff, Lucette drinks three Cossack ponies of Klass vodka - hateful, vulgar, but potent stuff -before she jumps in the Atlantic (3.5).
JM: I don't know if, among your effervescent translinguistic associations, a reminder about the German link by "Ross" (Pferd, Horse) would be of any help to you?
AS: Danke schoen. Btw., [Kostomarov's] Razin is the favorite hero of Konovalov, the eponymous character in a story by Gorky. Konoval means in Russian Rossarzt, "horse-doctor."
