Speaking of Lermontov,
M. Lermontov + Patagonia = Palermontovia + Montag
M. Lermontov - Mikhail Yurievich Lermontov (1814-41), Russian poet
Patagonia - a region in S South America; cf. from Ada's letter to Van: "...we'll continue, by the New World Express, in a suite I'll obtain, to the burning tip of Patagonia, Captain Grant's Horn, a Villa in Verna, my jewel, my agony" (2.1)
Palermontovia - on Antiterra, a land in S Europe, part of the British Commonwealth (1.3)
Montag - Germ., Monday; in his "Memoirs" (Dresden, 1859) Ivan Golovin writes: "14 декабря 1825 года было понедельник, поэтому вероятно и бунт и царствие Николая Павловича не удались" ("December 14, 1825, was Monday, this must be the reason both the revolt and the reign of the tsar Nicolas proved unsuccessful")
Speaking of pain (there is agonie in Patagonie), in 1832 Lermontov prophetically wrote: "Умереть с свинцовой пулей в сердце стоит медленной агонии старца" (the death with a leaden bullet in one's heart is worth an old man's slow agony). Incidentally, Martynov's first name was also Nicolas (but everybody, including Lermontov, whom M. killed in a duel, called him Martyshka, "marmoset").
