The article presents the most important formal and thematic characteristics of V. S. Pritchett’s short stories, and attempts to provide an analytical paradigm for what seems to be an original form of social realist short fiction. By analysing themes (crime, above all others), characterisation, eventfulness, and rhetorical closures of selected stories, the author of this article draws attention to the importance of stasis and recalcitrance in the texts, and aims to address the problem of the relative neglect V. S. Pritchett’s short fiction has suffered from in the critical debates of the last few decades.

The article is devoted to Anton Chekhov’s creative connection with Yelena Shavrova, for whom he edited her works and helped her have them published. Shavrova followed Chekhov’s advice: she shortened descriptions and removed fragments calculated for effect. The young writer indeed absorbed Chekhov’s artistic principles: narrating “in the spirit and tone of the character”, relinquishing external eventfulness for the sake of focusing on the characters’ psychological states, open endings. Like her mentor, Shavrova was also interested in gender issues. After Chekhov’s death, Shavrova gave up literary activities.

Статья посвящена творческой связи А. П. Чехова с Е. М. Шавровой, произведения которой он редактировал и продвигал в печать. Шаврова прислушивалась к советам Чехова: сокращала описания, убирала фрагменты, рассчитанные на эффект. Отмечается усвоение художественных принципов Чехова молодым писателем: повествование в «духе и тоне героя», замена внешней событийности психологическим состоянием персонажа, открытые финалы. Шаврову, как и Чехова, интересовала гендерная проблематика. После смерти писателя Шаврова уходит из литературы.
