Amazon's XRAY file for the War and Peace version in this thread has two
entities that I think are the same character. I haven't read the book yet and
part of why I want to do so with a reasonably good XRAY file is to keep
characters straight, especially Russians with a confusing array of names. (And
then there all the mind numbing different transliterations used in different
sources.)

Code:

Entity | Name                     | Number of mentions
90     | Prince Vasili Sergeevich | 225
92     | Prince Vasili Kuragin    |  17

I can find Vasili Kuragin (a prince) in:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ace_characters
but no trace of Vasili Sergeevich.

Can anyone confirm whether these are the same character?
