> "Vozrozhdenie was promonarchistic product although

> Second, the piece was published in March 1926 in
> Beograd and Mary was already 90% written.
> But my main argument regarding characters deals with
> Nabokov's letter to his mother (I guess it was written
> in early 1925 or 1924 where he gives a very distinct
> description of all the characters and says that he is
> trying to really feel these people - how they move,
> how they speak, they are "existing people" and not
> traditional characters.
>
> I am not sure if the letter was published but one can

> But truly I enjoyed reading the piece sent by Eugenii
