person
Arseny Ivanovich Vvedensky
Vvedensky
also: Введенский
A literary figure whose grievance against Chekhov -- apparently over an unpaid social call -- Chekhov dismisses as unexpected and strange, protesting that he is not even acquainted with the man and does not call on people toward whom he feels indifferent.
Reading notes
- To V. A. Tikhonov, 22 February 1892. Moscow. §4 Vvedensky
Named only by surname, as a companion who laughed alongside Chekhov at Tikhonov's expense during the name-day party. The corpus carries one existing entity of this surname, (Arseny Ivanovich Vvedensky, a literary/critical acquaintance first appearing in over an unrelated grievance), but nothing in this letter confirms the identification -- the surname alone is not distinctive enough to rule out a different Vvedensky in Chekhov's circle. Linked here as the best available match, flagged low confidence pending further corroboration; not to be read as a confirmed identity.
