Reading notes
- To Al. P. Chekhov, 21 February 1889. Moscow. §4 the meshchanin headman Vukov
An elected head of the meshchanin (petty-bourgeois/townsman) estate, with informal local authority to mediate disputes; invoked here half-jokingly as a comic threat if the theater directorate shortchanges Alexander, continuing a running family in-joke about Vukov's authority.
