Re [SEELANGS] Gogol's pig snouts

[Kristi Groberg]

Not pig snouts specifically, but pigs as symbols of the devil in Russia:

Kristi Groberg, “‘The Shade of Lucifer’s Dark 
Wing’: Satanism in Silver Age Russia,” in The 
Occult in Russian and Soviet Culture, ed. Bernice 
G. Rosenthal (Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell University 
Press, 1997), 99-133.  In Hungarian as Az okkult 
az orosz és a szovjet kultúrában (BudaPest: Európa Kuonyvkiadó, 2006).
