* I.e., Tchertkov and others, publishers of Tolstoy, who issued good literature for peasants' reading. After ten o'clock he carefully dressed, often in evening dress, very rarely in his kammer-junker's uniform, and went out, returning in the morning. Our relations were quiet and peaceful, and we never had any misunderstanding.
The police have made a raid upon Tchertkov, the well-known Tolstoyan, have carried off all that the Tolstoyans had collected relating to the Duhobors and sectarians and so all at once as though by magic all evidence against Pobyedonostsev and his angels has vanished.
Goremykin called upon Tchertkov's mother and said: "Your son must make the choice either the Baltic Province where Prince Hilkov is already living in exile, or a foreign country." Tchertkov has chosen London. He is setting off on the thirteenth of February. L. N. Tolstoy has gone to Petersburg to see him off; and yesterday they sent his winter overcoat after him.
In 1841 a serf belonging to a Russian nobleman purchased his freedom and the freedom of his family for 3,500 roubles, being at the rate of 700 roubles a soul, with one daughter, Alexandra, thrown in for nothing. The grandson of this serf was Anton Chekhov, the author; the son of the nobleman was Tchertkov, the Tolstoyan and friend of Tolstoy.
A great many are going to see him off, even Sytin, and I am sorry that I cannot do the same. I don't cherish tender sentiments for Tchertkov, but the way he has been treated fills me with intense, intense indignation.... MOSCOW, April 1, 1897. The doctors have diagnosed tuberculosis in the upper part of the lungs, and have ordered me to change my manner of life.
