Chekhova and others. Chekhov’s works were published in the Petersburg magazines and newspapers (“The Dragonfly”, “Fragments”, “The Petersburg Newspaper”, “The New Time”, “The Northern Bulletin”) under the different pseudonyms since 1880. Collected stories “Stories” (1888), “Children” (1889), “Gloomy People” (1890) were issued in Saint Petersburg.
