  Fun borzoi fact: borzois feature prominently in a chapter of War and Peace (Tolstoy’s epic novel which probably would have been better titled Whatever I Fucking Feel Like Writing About Next). The narrator describes one character’s prized borzoi and mentions that he paid a family of serfs for it. He doesn’t mean the character gave money to a serf family in exchange for the dog - he means that the price of the dog was a family of serfs. Imagine being that serf family and finding out why you have to move to a new estate.
