60. N. Teffi, “Dacha” (1910), in her lumoristicheskie rasskazy (Moscow, 1990), 113. Note the dacha locations that Teffi is specifically targeting
in her satirical portrait: Ozerki, Lakhta, Lesnoe, Udel’naia, and all three Pargolovos.
61. See I.A. Bunin, Sobranie sochinenii v deviati tomakh (Moscow, 1965–67), 2:114–51. The story is none too subtle: it was rejected by Novoe slovo as being too “journalistic” (fel’etonno).

67. TsIAM, f. 483, op. 3, d. 245, 1.4. Of course, the reason this document is stored
in Moscow’s Central Historical Archive is that the plaintiff, unable to resolve the
dispute on his own, turned to the local police for assistance.

and in its anti-Semitism is N.A. Leikin, Neunyvaiushchie Rossiiane (St. Petersburg, 1912), esp. 240. Another account of the “democratization” of Pavlovsk
in the 1880s can be found in the memoirs of the theater critic A.A. Pleshcheev, Pod sen’iu kulis (Paris, 1936), 108–13. A less alarmist account that pertains to the 1890s is Osip
Mandel’shtam’s sketch “Muzyka v Pavlovske,” in Shum vremeni (1923), in his Sochineniia v dvukh tomakh (Moscow, 1990), 2:6–8.

a phenomenon in which the individual was almost absent": “Suicide and Civilization
in Late Imperial Russia,” JfGO 43 (1995): 211. For more on the origins of the suicide epidemic and meanings ascribed
to it, see I. Paperno, Suicide as a Cultural Institution in Dostoevskys Russia (Ithaca, N.Y., 1997), esp. chaps. 2 and 3.
