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? |
Yes, as Tigger says, it is the same person. Sergeevich is patronymic (his father is Sergey) and family name is Kuragin.
