Lebotive's Speech Is the Place Where Doffssovsky Hides His Real Opinion

Duffssovsky often hides his real opinion in the novel. He'll always hide it in the most ridiculous character lebotive. Lebotive is kind of a drunkard and a rogue who gives this speech that everybody's laughing at him he's making this ridiculous argument that you shouldn't have trains or the trains are sort of representing modernity. But then he sneaks in there this idea that for doffs sovsky something has been fundamentally lost in the culture which is sort of the concept of god.
