Oh my, I especially love bliny with sour cream and raspberry or cherry jam... it's funny, I was thinking so much of Wynken, Blynken, and Nod that I didn't even think of bliny with smetana. <br /><br />To answer your question, though, Blinkin and Smetankin are not quite two aspects of the same delicious character, however they develop certain connections... It is Blinkin père who thinks Smetankin would have made a great son. And it is Blinkin fils who uses the pen name Trigorin.Lisa C.
