Anyone knows which book they're referring to? It sounds a bit like Chekhov.

"Bro, bro, remember that gun I mentioned earlier, bro?"

– Checkov, probably

Dunno about Russian book but the same story is in Tale of Two Cities

‘You know, Doctor, that it is among the Rights of these Nobles to harness us common dogs to carts, and drive us. They so harnessed him and drove him. You know that it is among their Rights to keep us in their grounds all night, quieting the frogs, in order that their noble sleep may not be disturbed. They kept him out in the unwholesome mists at night, and ordered him back into his harness in the day.

Good book would recommend.
