Reading notes

My Domostroy §3 Новости дня
\textit{Novosti Dnya} ("News of the Day"), a Moscow daily newspaper; naming it alongside its real editor Lipskerov roots the joke in Chekhov's actual professional world of Moscow's popular press.
To M. E. Chekhov, 31 January 1885. Moscow. §9 Novosti Dnya
"News of the Day," a Moscow daily newspaper; Chekhov arranges here for his uncle in Taganrog to receive a subscription via a card sent to its editorial office on Strastnoy Boulevard.
To N. A. Leikin, 1 April 1885. Moscow. §6 "Novosti dnya"
"News of the Day," a Moscow daily; Chekhov notes with wry amusement that it is reprinting his own stories from the Petersburg Gazette without proper credit, disguised just enough that neither he nor the reader can easily object.
To N. A. Leikin, 1886. Babkino. §12 "Новостях дня"
Novosti dnya ("News of the Day"), a Moscow daily newspaper; another outlet in which Anton had arranged advance advertising for "Pestrye rasskazy," continuing the publicity effort described in his letter of a few days earlier.
To N. A. Leikin, 27 June 1883. Voskresensk. §9 "Novosti Dnya"
"News of the Day," a new Moscow periodical of 1883 that had just invited Chekhov to contribute; he views the invitation with suspicion, expecting it to be heavily censored.
To N. A. Leikin, 11 August 1883. Moscow. §12 Novosti Dnya
"News of the Day," a cheap Moscow daily newspaper; Chekhov distances himself from it, treating work there as beneath his standing.
To N. A. Leikin, 25 December 1883. Moscow. §10 Novosti Dnya
"News of the Day," a Moscow daily that printed Chekhov's full surname on a trifle to spite its rival Pastukhov, entangling Chekhov in a squabble he didn't invite.
To the Chekhov Family, 25 April 1887. Cherkassk. §13 "Novosti Dnya"
"News of the Day," a Moscow daily that Chekhov elsewhere regarded with suspicion; the allusion here (a fear that the family's letters are meeting "the same story") implies some past mishandling or loss, left unexplained.
To V. N. Davydov, 1 December 1887. Petersburg. §16 Novosti Dnya
"News of the Day," a Moscow daily newspaper; its feuilleton (a signed, often opinionated column) carried a lengthy defense of the play, evidence to Chekhov that the controversy over "Ivanov" was still active in Moscow even as he wrote from Petersburg.
To A. Ya. Lipskerov, 1 January 1888. Moscow. §3 "Novosti dnya"
"Novosti dnya" ("News of the Day"), the Moscow daily edited by Lipskerov; Chekhov had once published a novel there himself and now leverages that standing to introduce Lazarev's novel-in-progress.
