If the original text emphasizes the emotional and existential aspect of personality – Leidendes (being = suffering), in the name of M. Klushina – Miserable. That’s more consistent with the canon of Russian sentimental fiction (e.g. «Poor Liza», «Poor Mary», «The unfortunate Nikanor» and so forth.).
