Nabokov and Remizov

Body
The hero of VN's story "Подлец" (An Affair of Honor, 1927?), Anton Petrovich, happens to be a namesake of the hero of Remizov's tale Kanava ("The Ditch," 1924). The other Anton Petrovich exclaims at the end of Remizov's tale: "Родится человек подлецом, и пусть подлец подохнет подлецом, бесстыжий человек!" ("A shameless man, born a rascal, may the rascal die the death of a rascal!") A coincidence?
