Ivan Sergeyevich Aksakov
I. S. Aksakov
also: И. С. Аксаков, Ivan Aksakov
Prominent nineteenth-century Slavophile publicist and editor of the newspapers Rus and Moskva, held in near-reverence by his readers; Chekhov's joke here drops his name in among ancient pagan gods as an object of worship.
Reading notes
- Krasnaya Gorka §26 I. S. Aksakov
Ivan Sergeyevich Aksakov (1823-1886), the prominent Slavophile publicist and editor of the newspapers Rus and Moskva; his name dropped in among ancient pagan gods is the essay's central anachronistic joke, mocking the reverence in which Slavophile readers held him.
- On the Road §56 I pestered Aksakov with letters
Ivan Sergeyevich Aksakov (1823-1886), the leading Slavophile publicist and editor of the newspapers Rus and Moskva, held in near-reverence by his readers; Likharev's letter-writing infatuation is the same fannish intensity Chekhov elsewhere mocks (see the toska sidecar's Aksakov entry) but here plays as one more discarded total commitment in Likharev's list.
