Query on Chekhov

[Robert A. Rothstein]

I've now had a chance to look at Chekhov's 1889 letter to Aleksandr
Semenovich Lazarev-Gruzinskii (in A. P. Chekhov, Sobranie sochinenii v
dvenadtsati tomakh, Moscow: Goslitizdat, 1963, 11:380), and Chekhov's
comment about the gun reads as follows in the original: "Nel'zia stavit'
na stsene zariazhennoe ruzh'e, esli nikto ne imeet v vidu vystrelit' iz
nego" (оЕМШЪС УФБЧЙФШ ОБ УГЕОЕ ЪБТСЦЕООПЕ ТХЦШЕ, ЕУМЙ ОЙЛФП ОЕ ЙНЕЕФ Ч
ЧЙДХ ЧЩУФТЕМЙФШ ЙЪ ОЕЗП).
