: stupid, spoiled, conceited bounder. He considered himself a man of culture because he dressed in the German fashion, kept an open house (though it was not overly clean), frequented the theatre, and had many protegees among variety actresses, with whom he conversed in some extraordinary jargon meant to be French. His principal passion was a thirst for popularity. "Let the name 98 blazer Golushkin thunder through the world! As once Suvorov or Potyomkin, then why not now Kapiton Golushkin?"

He never got into difficulties, because he said, "Wherever necessary, I have bribed the authorities. All holes 98 blazer stitched up, all mouths are closed, all ears are stopped."
