Stoglav
"Stoglav"
also: Стоглав
A periodical for which "Alexei Alexeyevich" apparently supplies content, including a postal-rules column on the sending of money packets and a medical section that Chekhov mocks as "beneath all criticism" (\S14). First appearance in this corpus; distinct from Suvorin's newspaper "Novoye Vremya" (the venue meant by "placing my little articles" in \S13 of the same letter).
Reading notes
- To A. S. Suvorin, 27 October 1888. Moscow. §14 Read the postal rules in "Stoglav"
"Stoglav" is a periodical for which "Alexei Alexeyevich" supplies content, first appearing in this corpus here -- a NEW entity, distinct from Suvorin's newspaper "Novoye Vremya," which is the venue implicitly meant by "placing my little articles" in \S13.
- To A. S. Suvorin, 17 October 1889. Moscow. §3 Насчет медиц отдела для календаря
The "medical section for the calendar" is almanac/reference-work business connected to Suvorin's publishing operations, of a piece with the "Stoglav" negotiations taken up again in \S10 -- practical editorial matters Chekhov and Suvorin handled between them.
- To A. S. Suvorin, 17 October 1889. Moscow. §10 Цену за "Стоглав" повысили, а объем его убавили.
"Stoglav" continues as an unresolved identification in this corpus: it is documented at its first appearance as a periodical connected to Suvorin's household/business for which "Alexei Alexeyevich" supplies content. Here Chekhov reports a price increase paired with a reduction in size/volume -- consistent with a periodical or serial publication -- but the letter alone does not confirm whether this is the same "Stoglav" venture referenced elsewhere or a distinct item; the identification is left flagged as provisional per the translator's note, not asserted as certain.
