rolig commented on the word oblomov
The character Oblomov, in the 1859 novel of that name by Ivan Goncharov, spends the first part of novel (150 pages) wondering why he should bother getting out of bed. This led to his becoming a byword in Russian for indecisiveness and inaction, with several famous essays being written about the problem of "Oblomovism" (обломовщина – oblomovshchina) among the Russian intelligentsia.
