"Chekhov, prime fare of the Soviet schoolroom"

[Stephanie Briggs]

Dear SEELANGers,

A thought came to mind that Chekhov would fit in nicely with the "great
communist experiment", using the quote from *Three Sisters* "In two or three
hundred years, everything will be beautiful. But until then, everyone must
work."

Stephanie
