Vrevskaya: the literariness of Vrevskaya (particular to the culture of 19th century Russian nobility (dvoryanstvo); the impact of Turgenev on Vrevskaya through both direct communication and artistry; the moulding of a life plot - the departure of Vrevskaya as a medical nurse to Bulgaria during the 1877 Russian-Turkish War - after the plot example of Turgenev's novel "On the Eve"; the mythologisation/sacralisation of Vrevskaya in Russian and Bulgarian literature, and in V. Hugo; the building of the cinematic plot of "Yuliya Vrevskaya" (1977) after the plot of "On the Eve" through the motif of love with a fictional Bulgarian; the forming of a behavioural model following the example of Vrevskaya's life choice (in Bulgarian queen Eleonora).
