  Repnin - LoveToKnow 1911
REPNIN, the name of an old Russian princely family, the first of whom to gain distinction was Prince Anikita Ivanovich Repnin (1668-1726), Russian general, and one of the collaborators of Peter the Great, with whom he grew up.
Repnin convinced himself that the dissidents were too poor and insignificant to be of any real support to Russia, and that the whole agitation in their favour was factitious.
On the retirement of Potemkin (q.v.) in 1791, Repnin succeeded him as commander-in-chief, and immediately routed the grand vizier at Machin, a victory which compelled the Turks to accept the truce of Galatz (31st of July 1791).

His grandson, PRINCE NIKOLAI VASILEVICH REPNIN (1734—18o1), Russian statesman and general, served under his father, Prince Vasily Anikitovich, during the Rhenish campaign of 1748 and subsequently resided for some time abroad, where he acquired " a thoroughly sound German education." He also participated in the Seven Years' War in a subordinate capacity.
It is clear from his correspondence that Repnin, a singularly proud and high-spirited man, much disliked the very dirty work he was called upon to do.

This largely autobiographical novel, written during the author's exile in London, depicts both the ephemera of his destitute life in England and the processes of his spiritual sliding into an abyss of hopelessness.
To appropriately assess the true extent of the symbiotic relationship between Crnjanski and Repnin, this study has relied on the critical means of the comparative psychoanalytical and psycholinguistic scrutiny of both the novel's content and the plethora of the biographical data concerning Crnjanski's exile existence in London.
Initially presumed and then empirically proven outcome of this analysis is that Repnin is indeed a genuine literary double of his creator and that both of them are similar as depression prone and suicidal personalities.
