Mother Pelageya is NOT Sister Pelagiya

edit

Factual mistake in the original article. Mother Pelageya mentioned in this novel cannot be Sister Pelagiya. The Sister Pelagiya stories take place in the late 1890s or early 1900s (there are numerous clues pointing to this timeframe) and Pelagiya is 32 years old. In 1882, therefore, she would be about 14 and would not even be a nun, forget a head nun. Besides Mother Pelageya's character obviously does not fit Sister Pelagiya's. To say nothing of the name difference. Sister Pelagiya's fictional universe is clearly separate from Fandorin's. For instance, general Skobelev is referred by his real name in the Pelagiya books, but in Fandorin books he is Sobolev. The opposite is true for the Head of the Holy Synod, ober-procurator Pobedonostsev.--Tighina 15:16, 15 May 2007 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tighina (talkcontribs) 04:16, 6 May 2007 (UTC).Reply

Thank you for this interesting analysis. Has this been published before, or is this your own work? Please check WP:NOR. Errabee 16:59, 15 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
This was discussed on fandorin.ru and I lifted the analysis from there. The users of that forum talk to Akunin directly.Tighina 04:45, 16 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
