1 Chernyshevskii, PSS, 3:590.

2 An enlightened priest, his father found the letter (now lost) puzzling: “If being abroad is really not entertaining,” he asked, “then what is it that attracts the throngs of our compatriots going over there?” See N. M. Chernyshevskaia, Letopis' zhizni i deiatel'nosti N. G. Chernyshevskogo (Moscow: Gosudarstvennoe izdatel'stvo khudozhestvennoi literatury, 1953), 172.

6 Fet also dismissed the Grünes Gewölbe as a tourist trap that art lovers should avoid: Iz-za granitsy (November 1856), 97–98.

7 On thematic similarities between Asya and other Turgenev stories, see Eva Kagan-Kans, Hamlet and Don Quixote: Turgenev’s Ambivalent Vision (The Hague: Mouton, 1975), 41–51; and Frank Friedeberg Seeley, Turgenev: A Reading of his Fiction (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1991), 153–55.

18 Pitting humble local musicians against ill-mannered rich Russians, the episode may allude to Tolstoy’s Lucerne, where Prince Nekhlyudov alone gives money and drink to the busker.

20 Maikov, “Progulka po Rimu s moimi znakomymi,” PSS, 4:189–215. This edition dates the work 1848 but does not indicate when it first appeared in print.

21 On Maikov’s humorous treatment of Russian disregard for Roman ruins, see Schönle, “Broken History and Crumbling Stones,” 764. The ironically applied adjective blagochinnyi means “decent, decorous.”
