person
M. P. Fyodorov
Fyodorov
also: М. П. Федоров
The nominal editor of record of Suvorin's newspaper Novoye Vremya in early 1887, facing imminent imprisonment (reportedly for a press offense) at the time of this letter; Alexander Chekhov, as his presumptive replacement, was awaiting Fyodorov's jailing before he could assume the post -- the context behind Chekhov's needling question "Is Fyodorov still sitting [in jail]?"
Reading notes
- To Al. P. Chekhov, 22–23 February 1887. Moscow. §14 Is Fyodorov still sitting in jail?
M. P. Fyodorov, nominal editor of record of Suvorin's Novoye Vremya; he was expected to be imprisoned (for a press offense) any day, with Alexander Chekhov standing by as his provisional successor -- a state of suspense Alexander's own letters from this period confirm ("Fyodorov still hasn't been put away, so I'm still only serving as his deputy").
- To Al. P. Chekhov, 6–7 October 1887. Moscow. §6 Fyodorov
M. P. Fyodorov, editor at Suvorin's Novoye Vremya, one of two contacts (with Bezhetsky) Chekhov suggests for placing a planted theatrical notice about his new play.
