Where Chekhov Wrote

“I now live on Malaya Dmitrovka; it's a nice street, the house is a little detached one, two stories. So far I'm not bored, but boredom is already peering in at my window and wagging its finger at me,” Chekhov wrote. This address is closely tied to one of the most productive periods of the writer's life. It was here that Anton Pavlovich worked on the material from his legendary journey and wrote masterpieces that became classics of world literature: “Sakhalin Island” and stories such as “Ward No. 6,” “The Duel” and “The Grasshopper.” The little outbuilding in the courtyard of a merchant's estate still keeps the memory of Chekhov's return from the Far East and his preparations to move to his estate at Melikhovo.
