Nikolai Nikolaevich Vedenyapin
Alexander Alexandrovich Gromeko is a wealthy professor and the husband of Anna Ivanovna and the father of Tonya. A liberal socialist, Alexander Alexandrovich is elected to a Moscow district duma between the February and October revolutions; he is suspicious of the Bolsheviks and fiercely argues with their supporters like Nikolai Nikolaevich. Alexander Alexandrovich’s talents are widely recognized, however, and he is called back to Moscow while Yuri is with the partisans, only to be deported along with his family for his political leanings.

Part 13: Opposite the House with Figures
Quotes
Outside the window it began to snow. Wind carried the snow obliquely, ever faster and ever denser, as if trying all the while to make up for something, and the way Yuri Andreevich stared ahead of him through the window was as if it were not snow falling but the continued reading of Tonya’s letter, and not dry starlike flakes that raced and flashed, but small spaces of white paper between small black letters, white, white, endless, endless.
Yuri Andreevich involuntarily moaned and clutched his chest. He felt faint, made several hobbling steps towards the couch, and collapsed on it unconscious.
