As a measure of ridiculous fanaticism, I find this theory
plausible....

>From a September 17 posting to the guestbook for Juan Martinez's
parallel universe, WAXWING,

I tend to believe that the whole history of English and Russian
literatures, and the whole Russian tsarist history and Bolshevik
revolution (which caused the essential ingredient of exile) ran
their courses for the sole purpose of producing this man.
