Ivan Kudrinproposed
A Cossack trader, "the last of these traders", who in 1882 brought W. H. Gilder to the Kolyma and "in a way wanted to take him captive" (1-080). Dead by the writing of 1-085, where he "had the reputation of being out of his mind". His brother is Theodore Kudrin. Vanker is the Chukchee form Gilder prints, which Bogoras calls "a corruption of his two [names]". See William Henry Gilder, Cossacks.
