Vladimir Levin is a character in
Tolstoy's novel
Anna Karenina. He is the prosperous landowner who felt that
democracy was the answer to the great divide that existed between the aristocracy and the peasants in
Tsarist Russia[?].
Vladimir Levin is also the handle of a criminal Russian hacker who broke into Citibank's network and stole about ten million dollars, the name most likely being chosen for its Robin Hood-like associations.
