Reading notes

To Al. P. Chekhov, 25 December 1882. Moscow. §6 Pastukhov
A Moscow newspaper publisher/editor willing to print short reworkings of translated material -- part of Anton's practical advice on turning hack translation into paid, publishable copy.
To Al. P. Chekhov, 13 May 1883. Moscow. §5 Pastukhov
Nikolai Pastukhov, publisher of the popular Moscow tabloid Moskovsky Listok, known for paying contributors well; he took Chekhov to dinner and dangled a lucrative per-line rate.
To N. A. Leikin, 25 December 1883. Moscow. §10 Pastukhov
Nikolai Pastukhov, publisher-editor of the Moscow daily Moskovsky Listok, here feuding with rival papers over unauthorized use of Chekhov's byline.
To N. A. Leikin, 23 December 1884. Moscow. §7 Pastukhov
N. I. Pastukhov, publisher of the popular Moscow daily Moskovsky Listok, with whom Palmin was reportedly breaking ties.
To I. L. Leontyev, 11 March 1889. Moscow. §4 Pastukhov
Presumably Nikolai Ivanovich Pastukhov, publisher of the populist Moscow daily "Moskovsky Listok", named in the same sentence as "his organ." The identification is provisional: this letter's specific grievance -- that Pastukhov let a letter to Shcheglov go out over his own signature but in a clerk's hand -- is new information not otherwise cross-referenced in this corpus, so the note flags it pending confirmation of Pastukhov's full identity against the entity's existing (differently sourced) summary.
