person
Zheltov
also: Желтов
A minor Moscow figure of the early 1880s whom Chekhov names in his gossip notes for Leikin's Oskolki; Chekhov defends including him on the grounds that he is well enough known in Moscow to be worth a satirical jab, after Leikin cut the reference.
Reading notes
- To N. A. Leikin, 10 December 1883. Moscow. §11 Zheltov
A minor Moscow figure whom Chekhov had named in an earlier set of notes; Leikin cut the reference, and Chekhov defends it here as fair game since Zheltov was locally well known.
