He has a very loyal fanbase. And he's very nice to his mum.

I've had to reassess my early opinion of Dolokhov: he has many faults. I think my fondness came actually from the dreamy actor who played him in the 2016 BBC War and Peace!

Not really a nickname. More like calling someone with the name James "Jim". It's the familiar form of the name Fedor.

Definitely after this chapter. Tolstoy never makes it easy.
