QUERY: Turati and "Avanti" in The Defense?

Daniele Fabbri writes:

Before they begin their great match game, Luzhin greets Turati with the
good-humored cry of "Avanti" (meaning "Come on"). Filippo Turati
(1857-1932) was among the founding fathers of Italian Socialist Party. The
Party's newspaper was called "Avanti!" (Forward!") A Nabokovian inside joke?
