Kings, ladies and jacks are the famous characters of Gogol's poem: Chichikov, Manilov, Plyushkin, Nozdrev, Sobakevich, Korobochka, etc. On the ace of spades is the "Provincial Olympus" with the faces of the owners of Russian provincial cities typical at all times. On one of the jokers is the old-world landowner Pyotr Petrovich Petukh, the hunter for a "good lunch" and therefore never knowing boredom. On the second - the eternally gloomy teacher Chichikov, "a great lover of silence and good behavior."
