person
Fyodorov
also: Федоров
A colleague in Suvorin's Novoye Vremya circle whom an unnamed officer allegedly threatened to thrash along with Suvorin himself, after the same officer had already beaten Alexander Chekhov -- otherwise unidentified in this letter and distinct from the unrelated Fyodorovs elsewhere in the corpus (the Deshevaya Biblioteka publisher, the earlier Novoye Vremya editor of record, and the invented prison-sketch character).
Reading notes
- To Al. P. Chekhov, 13 October 1888. Moscow. §6 give Fyodorov and Suvorin a thrashing too
This "Fyodorov" is a colleague in Suvorin's Novoye Vremya circle whom the same officer allegedly threatened to thrash, mentioned here only in passing -- otherwise unidentified, and not to be confused with the unrelated Fyodorovs elsewhere in the corpus (the Deshevaya Biblioteka publisher who invited Chekhov to contribute, the earlier nominal editor of Novoye Vremya awaiting imprisonment in 1887, or the invented prison-sketch character of the same surname).
