Names in Tolstoy's "The Death of Ivan Ilych"

Since "The Death of Iván Ilých" is a novella not a drama, it doesn't come with a printed list of characters. That seems a shame. The text contains a number of "triple-decker names" and characters who are sometimes identified by nicknames. Therefore, in the hope of promoting a better understanding of Tolstoy's work, I offer below a list of characters, grouped in terms of their relationship to the tragic Iván. Feel free to print it out. By the way, the name Iván Ilých is comparable to the English "John Doe. [Note: diacritical marks in Russian transliterations denote a stress; so, for example, "Iván" is pronounced "ee-VAHN."]. Pictured above is Count Tolstoy.
