Gloumov, (the protagonist) has not only become an eduring character
on the Russian stage, but the abstract noun derived from his name,
gloumovshchina (or gloumovism), has entered the language. As long
as ambitious young men with brains and talent can most readily
achieve success by selling themselves and betraying their better
natures, gloumovism will thrive. Transitional societies have a
special need of Gloumov to keep things moving - as well as to
maintain equilibrium - since the actor-opportunist will further any
cause, switch positions overnight, defend opposite sides of the
same issue, and turn his coat with every wind until he almost
becomes the coat. from the Afterword by Daniel Gerould
