Olenin was a youth who had never completed his university course,
never served anywhere (having only a nominal post in some government
office or other), who had squandered half his fortune and had reached
the age of twenty-four without having done anything or even chosen a
career. He was what in Moscow society is termed un jeune homme. But
he did find a career -- he took a post as a Cadet in the army, and
ended up assigned to Transcaucasia. This is the place -- here among
the Tatars, the Chechens, and the Old Believers -- this is the place
where Olenin will find love in the arms of a beautiful Cossack girl
-- a young woman who is promised to a Cossack warrior.
