short short stories, even miniatures

[Vladimir Shatsev]

Oh yes.Thanks a lot for your recommendations.I will find the recommended 
books.
Probably I was not very precise. I am looking for a  short short stories  in 
translation such as Pushkin's  TABLE TALK,Tourgenev's POEMS IN PROSE, 
Chekhov's RARA AVIS( Constance Garnet did not translate it) and Zapisniye 
knizhki, Bunin's BERNAR or something even smaller,Tolstoi READING CIRCLE, 
Something from Rozanov,  Babel's CEMETERY IN THE TOWN OF KOZIN and some 
other miniatures,Ily Ilf's  ZAPISNIYE KNIZHKI,   Soljenitsin's 
KROHOTKI,Shalamov's miniatures about Gulag,
Dovlatov's ZAPISNIYE KNIZHKI.
Living in Toronto now I continue to be active in teaching Russian literature 
for my Canadian friends. I think that short short stories might be a  
productive introduction before reading Fathers ,Sons or War and Peace etc.
I am interested in the texts of such type and  first of all in their 
availability in internet.
Please give me some ideas where to get it.
Than you in advance.

Sincerely,Vladimir Shatsev
PS By the way how it is in English - Zapisnye knizhki ?
