Between them there was a quarrel that grew into a brawl, Turgenev described the incident in his letter to Herzen: ... there were disputes about Slavophilism, about Aksakov’s article on heroes. ““ After that, you are not a patriot, ”the professor remarked. On these words, the graph with amazing resourcefulness and perfect A Propos objected: "And you, bitch son, are married to a bastard!" “And you yourself come from the bastard,” - in turn, the professor and bacz of the count noticed in the face ...
