Speaking of malina, "raspberry", I forgot to mention Malinniki, the Osipov-Vulf estate in the province of Tver. In his EO Commentary (vol. Two, p. 535) VN writes that Anette Vulf's letters to Pushkin (who "deliberately and cynically debauched" Anette during his enforced rustication at Mikhaylovskoe, province of Pskov), in 1826, from Malinniki, are heart-rending. Anette's mother, Praskovia Osipov (nee Vyndomski, in the first marriage Vulf), owner of Trigorsk (the estate near Pushkin's Mikhaylovskoe), is a namesake of Countess Praskovia de Prey, a neighbor of the Veen-Durmanov family, owners of Ardis, in Ada.
Incidentally, de Prey is a wine-merchant (not as good as Levet) in Tolstoy's Anna Karenin.
