Reading notes
- To I. L. Leontyev, 9 June 1888. Sumy. §4 the Tuchkov Bridge
A bridge across the Malaya Neva in St. Petersburg; Chekhov uses "observing life from the Tuchkov Bridge" as shorthand for a narrow, purely Petersburg vantage point, as opposed to the broader view gained by travel.
- Psychopaths §21 Tuchkov Bridge
A bridge across the Malaya Neva in St. Petersburg, near where investigators reportedly searched for a weight allegedly used in connection with the crime -- Grisha's fantastical elaboration turns the search into a farce with English divers and New York equipment.
