VN liked the idea that litterary fiction sometimes shapes the
reality - for example, the plot of "Revizor" by Gogol reporduced
ironically
by Lopatin (a revolutionnary) trying to liberate Chernyshevsky.
Did anybody notice strange similarity between Andronnikov and Niagarin
in
Pale Fire and the personages of a real story: russian "businessmen"
Kovtun and Lugovoy in the story of poisoning of the ex-FSB officer
Litvinenko in London (including the parallel between Gradus
and mysterious killer - third person in the latest story)?
Best regards to all -
