Vronsky had come to the elections because he felt dull in the country, in order to proclaim to Anna his right to freedom, to repay Sviyazhsky by supporting him at these elections for all the trouble he had taken for Vronsky at the Zemstvo elections, and most of all to perform strictly all the duties of the position he had taken up as nobleman and landowner.
Vronsky había ido a la ciudad por las elecciones y porque se aburría en el pueblo, por mostrar a Ana su derecho a la libertad, y también porque quería pagar a Sviajsky, con su ayuda, los esfuerzos que había hecho a su favor en las elecciones del zemstvo.
