Chertkov's Posrednik

[Michael Denner]

muireann, there's also a very good book on Sytin, the Russian printer, that touches extensively on Posrednik and Tolstoy as a businessman:
Russian Entrepreneur: Publisher Ivan Sytin of Moscow, 1851-1934/By Charles A. Ruud

you can read large parts of it on Google Books.

Dear Muireann,

Robert Otto completed a  PhD dissertation on Posrednik -- "Publishing for the People: The Firm Posrednik, 1885-1905" --  for the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1983, and it was published in the Modern European History Garland Series of Outstanding Dissertations (New York and London: Garland Publishing, Inc., 1987).

Best,

Donna Orwin

Dear all,

I'm interested in finding out more about Posrednik, the publishing house that Biryukov and Chertkov set up, with Tolstoy's blessing, in 1885. Can anyone recommend good sources, in Russian or English, on this and/or similar publishing enterprises in late Tsarist Russia?

With thanks in advance,

Muireann Maguire
