For those like me who wondered who this mysterious and apparently
wealthy Vladimir Syrian could be - the prize is in the name of Sirin.

p.s. I have not had much time to devote to the Sirin-Zhar ptitsa path
recently (not that anyone on the List has shown the slightest interest
in the subject), however those who recall the image of the Kalmakov
painting I posted may also recall the Smert'/subMarina Princess's
swanee arms and might be intrigued to think about a possible link
between Lebedinoe Ozero [Swan Lake] and the vanishing city of Kitezh,
both Dangleleaf productions, as it happens ...

There's a swan/subMarina theme in Ada of course - does it appear
anywhere else in Nabokovian seas or ozeros [lakes]?

Is Ada itself a Dangleleaf production?
