Generalization

Ivan Dmitrich Aksionov is a merchant living in a town in Russia, Vladimir. Although Aksionov is prone
to drinking, he is not violent, and he is responsible and well liked by people that know him. One day
he decides to go to a fair as a business venture, but his wife pleads for him not to go because of
a nightmare she had the previous night. Aksionov doesn't consider his wife's dream and leaves for
the fair.
Aksionov meets another merchant on his way, and the two decide to travel together. They check
into an inn and have a good time drinking, then they retire separately. Aksionov wakes early in the
next morning to get to the fair and leaves without the other merchant. Not far down the road,
Aksionov is stopped by some policemen. They explain a merchant was just murdered and robbed, and
then they search Aksionov's bag. They find a bloody knife, and despite Aksionov's claims that he is
not the murderer, he is sentenced and sent to Siberia. After his trial flogging, his wife can finally
visit him, and she sees that Aksionov's hair has begun to go gray from the stress.
Aksionov spends twenty-six years in Siberia, and, resigned to his fate, he dedicates his life to God.
He becomes a mediator of sorts in the prison, and he is well respected by the other prisoners and
also guards alike. One day some new prisoners, one of them being Makar Semyonich, are
transferred to the prison. After overhearing several conversations, Aksionov is convinced that
Makar Semyonich is the man who committed the murder for which Aksionov was blamed.
One day the guards notice that someone had been strewing dirt around the grounds, and they
search the prison and find a tunnel. Aksionov had found out earlier that it was Makar Semyonich
that was digging the hole, but after being questioned by the police, Aksionov declares that it is not
his place to speak about the matter. Makar Semyonich approaches Aksionov later that day in a
terrible state, and he eventually admits to Aksionov that it was he who killed the merchant.
Aksionov forgives Semyonich, and he feels as if a terrible weight had been lifted. Makar Semyonich
confesses to the authorities, and the process for Aksionov to be cleared is begun. Unfortunately,
Aksionov dies before he can reach home, but he dies in peace.
