Граф Орлов
Auto-translated
It turns out that many can be remembered from the works of our classics... For example, Stepan Kalashnikov from "The Song of Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich, the young oprichnik, and the brave merchant Kalashnikov," or something like that. I read it a long time ago.
The plot: a certain oprichnik harassed the wife of the merchant Kalashnikov. The wife was a virtuous woman and sent the gentleman oprichnik away. Of course, the merchant couldn't ignore all this. And the merchant challenged the gentleman oprichnik to a fistfight to the death, where he killed the latter. Naturally, one cannot simply kill a close associate of the Tsar, and on the same day, the merchant was executed, and Stepan knew perfectly well about this outcome.
In general, this Stepan Kalashnikov is a great guy. Even though he knew that death was inevitable, he decided that honor was more important than life. It seems like such a standard, unremarkable image... But don't waste your time, read this small work, and you will surely like this character.
