In VN隆炉s novel Look at the Harlequins! (1974) Gerry Adamson (Louise隆炉s husband) mentions a critic who called Vadim隆炉s novel Dr. Olga Repnin (1946) chute compl篓篓te (a complete comedown):

Her husband sat in a deep armchair, reading a London weekly bought at the Shopping Center. He had not bothered to take off his horrible black raincoat--a voluminous robe of oilskin that conjured up the image of a stagecoach driver in a lashing storm. He now removed however his formidable spectacles. He cleared his throat with a characteristic rumble. His purple jowls wobbled as he tackled the ordeal of rational speech:

GERRY Do you ever see this paper, Vadim (accenting "Vadim" incorrectly on the first syllable)? Mister (naming a particularly lively criticule) has demolished your Olga (my novel about the professorsha; it had come out only now in the British edition).

VADIM May I give you a drink? We'll toast him and roast him.

GERRY Yet he's right, you know. It is your worst book. Chute compl篓篓te, says the man. Knows French, too.

LOUISE No drinks. We've got to rush home. Now heave out of that chair. Try again. Take your glasses and paper. There. Au revoir, Vadim. I'll bring you those pills tomorrow morning after I drive him to school. (4.1)

In his review in the Northern Bee (Mar. 22, 1830) of Chapter Seven of Pushkin隆炉s Eugene Onegin Bulgarin calls this chapter of EO 隆掳chute compl篓篓te:隆卤

And now, on rounds of family dinners

Tanya they trundle daily to present

to grandsires and to grandams

her abstract indolence.

For kin come from afar

there's everywhere a kind reception,

and exclamations, and good cheer.

隆掳How Tanya's grown! Such a short while

It seems since I godmothered you!隆卤

隆掳And since I bore you in my arms!隆卤

隆掳And since I pulled you by the ears!隆卤

隆掳And since I fed you gingerbread!隆卤

And the grandmothers keep repeating

in chorus: 隆掳How our years do fly!隆卤 (Seven: XLIV)

The stanza隆炉s last line, 隆掳Kak nashi gody-to letyat!隆卤 (隆掳How our years do fly!隆卤), was used by Apollon Maykov as the epigraph to his poem in octaves Knyazhna (隆掳The Princess,隆卤 1878). Maykov is the author of Arlekin (隆掳The Harlequin,隆卤 1854). Maykov隆炉s narrative poem Mashen隆炉ka (隆掳Mary,隆卤 1846) has the same title as VN隆炉s first novel. VN隆炉s Mashen隆炉ka (1926) corresponds to Vadim隆炉s Tamara (1925). Showing to Vadim a lending library in the house that he rents for his business, Oks (Osip Lvovich Oksman) mentions Vadim隆炉s Tamara:

He led me to a distant corner and triumphantly trained his flashlight on the gaps in my shelf of books.

"Look," he cried, "how many copies are out. All of Princess Mary is out, I mean Mary--damn it, I mean Tamara. I love Tamara, I mean your Tamara, not Lermontov's or Rubinstein's. Forgive me. One gets so confused among so many damned masterpieces." (2.4)

Knyazhna Mery (隆掳Princess Mary隆卤) is a novella in Lermontov隆炉s Geroy nashego vremeni (隆掳A Hero of Our Time,隆卤 1840). The first novella in 隆掳A Hero of Our Time隆卤 is Bela. The heroine隆炉s name brings to mind Vadim隆炉s daughter Bel. Since Vadim is a Russian Prince, his daughter is knyazhna (a Princess). During their first meeting Bel tells her father that she and her mother (Annette Blagovo, Vadim隆炉s second wife) had spent most of last summer with babushka (grandmother):

She and her mother (whom she mentioned as casually as if Annette were in the next room copying something for me on a soundless typewriter) had spent most of last summer at Carnavaux with babushka. I would like to have learned what room exactly Bel had occupied in the villa, but an oddly obtrusive, though irrelevant-looking, recollection somehow prevented me from asking: shortly before her death Iris had dreamed one night that she had given birth to a fat boy with dusky red cheeks and almond eyes and the blue shadow of mutton chops: "A horrible Omarus K." (4.2)

Describing a hurricane that killed Bel隆炉s mother, Vadim mentions Dr. Olga Repnin:

The mad scholar in Esmeralda and her Parandrus wreathes Botticelli and Shakespeare together by having Primavera end as Ophelia with all her flowers. The loquacious lady in Dr. Olga Repnin remarks that tornadoes and floods are really sensational only in North America. On May 17, 1953, several papers printed a photograph of a family, complete with birdcage, phonograph, and other valuable possessions, riding it out on the roof of their shack in the middle of Rosedale Lake. Other papers carried the picture of a small Ford caught in the upper branches of an intrepid tree with a man, a Mr. Byrd, whom Horace Peppermill said he knew, still in the driver隆炉s seat, stunned, bruised, but alive. A prominent personality in the Weather Bureau was accused of criminally delayed forecasts. A group of fifteen schoolchildren who had been taken to see a collection of stuffed animals donated by Mrs. Rosenthal, the benefactor隆炉s widow, to the Rosedale Museum, were safe in the sudden darkness of that sturdy building when the twister struck. But the prettiest lakeside cottage got swept away, and the drowned bodies of its two occupants were never retrieved. (ibid.)

Among the flowers mentioned in Hamlet by mad Ophelia is rosemary:

Look at my flowers. There隆炉s rosemary, that隆炉s for remembering. Please remember, love. And there are pansies, they隆炉re for thoughts. (4.5)

As she speaks to her father, Bel mentions the aroma of rosemary:

Oh yes, said Bel, she had loved it. Especially the path down, down to the sea and the aroma of rosemary (chudnyy zapakh rozmarina). I was tortured and charmed by her "shadowless" 篓娄migr篓娄 Russian, untainted, God bless Annette, by the Langley woman's fruity Sovietisms. (4.2)

In the fourth poem of Marina Tsvetaev隆炉s cycle Marina (1921) Grigoriy Otrepiev (the Impostor) tells Marina Mnishek that her breast is as sweet-smelling as rozmarinovyi larchik (a small box with rosemary):

GRIGORIY. (To HOSTESS.) Whither leads this road?

HOSTESS. To Lithuania, my dear, to the Luyov mountains.

GRIGORIY. And is it far to the Luyov mountains?

HOSTESS. Not far; you might get there by evening, but for the tsar's frontier barriers, and the captains of the guard.

GRIGORIY. What say you? Barriers! What means this?

HOSTESS. Someone has escaped from Moscow, and orders have been given to detain and search everyone.

GRIGORIY. (Aside.) Here's a pretty mess! (TAVERN ON THE LITHUANIAN FRONTIER)

Vadim隆炉s flight from Russia is a parody of a scene in 隆掳Boris Godunov隆卤 when Otrepiev crosses the Lithuanian border. According to Vadim, a Red Army soldier at the frontier called him yablochko (little apple):

I thought I had crossed the frontier when a bare-headed Red Army soldier with a Mongol face who was picking whortleberries near the trail challenged me: "And whither," he asked picking up his cap from a stump, "may you be rolling (kotishsya), little apple (yablochko)? Pokazyvay-ka dokumentiki (Let me see your papers)."

I groped in my pockets, fished out what I needed, and shot him dead, as he lunged at me; then he fell on his face, as if sunstruck on the parade ground, at the feet of his king. None of the serried tree trunks looked his way, and I fled, still clutching Dagmara's lovely little revolver. Only half an hour later, when I reached at last another part of the forest in a more or less conventional republic, only then did my calves cease to quake. (1.2)

At the end of 隆掳Boris Godunov隆卤 an incidental character quotes the saying yabloko ot yabloni nedaleko padaet (隆掳like parents, like children;隆卤 literally: 隆掳an apple falls not far from the apple-tree隆卤):

Vadim隆炉s and his daughter隆炉s surname seems to be Yablonski. It comes from yablonya (apple-tree). As to the name Oks, it seems to blend the Oka (a river that flows through Marina Tsvetaev隆炉s poetry and memoir prose) with Krasnyi bychok (隆掳A Red Bull-Calf,隆卤 1928), Marina Tsvetaev隆炉s poem whose title brings to mind the proverbial Skazka pro belogo bychka (隆掳Tale about White Bull-Calf隆卤). Marina Tsvetaev is the author of Babushke (隆掳To my Grandmother,隆卤 1914) and Babushka (隆掳Grandmother,隆卤 1919), a cycle of two poems. In the early 1910s Marina Tsvetaev addressed several poems to V. Ya. Bryusov. In a canceled variant of a stanza in EO (Two: XLI: 1) Pushkin mentions Bryusov Kalendar隆炉 (Bruce隆炉s Calendar) compiled under the auspices of Count Yakov Bryus, one of Peter I隆炉s generals who was reputed to be an alchemist (actually, he was an excellent astronomer and mathematician). Among 隆掳the fledglings of Peter隆炉s nest隆卤 mentioned by Pushkin in Canto Three of Poltava (1828) are Bryus and Repnin:

Vadim隆炉s novel Dr. Olga Repnin corresponds to VN隆炉s Pnin (1957). Na smert隆炉 I. P. Pnina (隆掳On the Death of I. P. Pnin,隆卤 1805) is a poem by Batyushkov. At the end of Pushkin隆炉s poem Ten隆炉 Fonvizina (隆掳The Shade of Fonvizin,隆卤 1815) Fonvizin mentions Batyushkov:

I heard that, disappointed beyond measure,

he [Fonvizin] scolded the Russians without mercy

and this is what he deigned to say:

隆掳If Khvostov keeps working

and Batyushkov quietly sleeps,

our genius won隆炉t rise up long

and things won隆炉t be going well.隆卤

At the end of LATH old Vadim falls asleep:

"That's all very well," I said, as I groped for the levers of my wheelchair, and you helped me to roll back to my room. "And I'm grateful, I'm touched, I'm cured! Your explanation, however, is merely an exquisite quibble--and you know it; but never mind, the notion of trying to twirl time is a trouvaille; it resembles (kissing the hand resting on my sleeve) the neat formula a physicist finds to keep people happy until (yawning, crawling back into bed) until the next chap snatches the chalk. I had been promised some rum with my tea--Ceylon and Jamaica, the sibling islands (mumbling comfortably, dropping off, mumble dying away)--" (7.4)

In the last stanza of his poem Dorozhnye zhaloby (隆掳The Road Complaints,隆卤 1830) Pushkin mentions a wine-glass of rum and tea:
