Arina Vlassyevna Bazarov
Sitnikov is an elegant, rather shrill, self-proclaimed “disciple” of Bazarov. He likes to move in the most fashionable circles in society. He introduces Arkady and Bazarov to Madame Kukshin and Madame Odintsov. When he shows up uninvited at Nikolskoye, however, the other two men abandon him, Bazarov rejecting him as a “lout.”

“I can see you’re still a fool, my boy. The Sitnikovs of this world are essential to us. I—I would have you understand—I need such louts. It is not for the gods to have to bake bricks! . . .”
“O ho!” thought Arkady, and only then in a flash did all the fathomless depths of Bazarov’s conceit dawn upon him. “So you and I are gods, are we? Or rather, you arc a god while I’m one of the louts, I suppose?”
“Yes,” repeated Bazarov gloomily, “you’re still a fool.”
