I may err, but it seems to me that this anagram was
devised by VN, not me:
GOLOVA + IN VINO VERITAS + BARN = IVAN GOLOVIN +
SATIRA + BREVNO
golova is Russian for "head;" In
vino veritas, "in wine is truth," is a Latin proverb; satira is Russian for "satire;" brevno is Russian for "log"
Brevno does become a god in Vladimir
Solovyov's fable "Эфиопы и бревно" ("The Ethiopians and a Log,"
1894).
