Goa is a former district in Portuguese India (it belonged to Portugal
thanks to Vasco da Gama). Goa is mentioned in Soloviov's fable "Ýôèîïû è áðåâíî"
(The Ethiopians and the Log) in which Log is promoted
to Bog (God).
Sorry, my English is not good enough to translate Russian
classics. Suggestion: there must be an English translation of Tolstoy's
correspondence. Look up also Tolstoy's letter of August 31, 1896, to A. M.
Kalmykova in which he accuses the government of Alexander III of (among
many other crimes) legalizing murder in
duels.
