In Russian, самолюбие (samolyubie), "self-love" (our translation), joins "oneself" and "love": the pride of one who does not accept being humbled, which can be vanity or dignity. Ganya cites it as the thing in a man most capable of tricks, and it is self-love, not the thirst for money, that Nastasya concludes made Ganya leave the hundred thousand in the fireplace.
