person
Sabashnikova
also: Сабашникова
A woman connected to the editorial or financial affairs of "Severny Vestnik," mentioned only by surname; Chekhov reproaches Pleshcheyev's circle for letting her go to Anna Mikhailovna Yevreinova ("that monster") rather than waiting for him, adding facetiously that he would gladly have "married" her for the journal's sake. Distinct from the unrelated, male publisher surname "Sabashnikov" known elsewhere in Russian literary history -- not to be conflated.
Reading notes
- To A. N. Pleshcheyev, 13 November 1888. Moscow. §6 why did you let Sabashnikova go to that monster Evreinova?
Sabashnikova (new entity): a woman -- confirmed by Chekhov's own facetious talk of "marrying" her and of "her dowry" -- evidently connected to the editorial or financial affairs of "Severny Vestnik." DISAMBIGUATION: distinct from the unrelated, male publisher surname "Sabashnikov" (the Sabashnikov publishing family/periodical already catalogued elsewhere in this corpus) known more broadly in Russian literary history -- the two are not to be conflated despite the shared surname root.
