I mentioned in my previous post Arbenin, the hero of Lermontov's play "Маскарад" (The Masked Ball, 1836) who poisons his wife, because
Arbenin + L = rab + Lenin
(rab is Russian for "slave"; L is for Lermontov)
Among young Lermontov's poems there is "Предсказание" (Prediction, 1830) that begins:
Настанет год, России чёрный год,
когда царей корона упадёт...
The year will come, Russia's black year
when the tsars' crown will fall...
