# Doulebov — The Created Legend character guide

> Doulebov in The Created Legend by Fyodor Sologub.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Grigory Vladimirovitch Doulebov, the Vice-Governor Doulebov, The angry Doulebov

**First appearance:** 0008-vii

## Snapshot

Doulebov, the Vice-Governor's obsequious fixer, arranges inspections and invitations with a young pig's squeal and a talent for letting others take the blame.

## Who they are

Doulebov glides through the provincial bureaucracy with pleasant manners and a slender, squealing voice, never drunk, always accompanied by the shrewd wife who manages his affairs. He engineers the Vice-Governor's visit to the town school precisely so that a subsequent raid on Trirodov's colony will look like the government's own idea rather than his. His careful indirection—praising a shabby school to disguise his real target—shows how the apparatus of reaction works through flattery and misdirection rather than open force.
