Abdulin is a shopkeeper who sells wine. According to the mayor, Abdulin is scheming and duplicitous. The mayor curses Abdulin for knowing how scratched up his sword is but still not sending him a new one. Because he believes Khlestakov is a very high-ranking government official, Abdulin addresses a petition to Khlestakov complaining about the mayor’s misconduct.
