Love Story - The Lady with the Dog

In this episode, Lev Lesokhin and Professor Alexander Burry dive into Anton Chekhov’s most famous love story —The Lady with the Dog. This is a heartwarming story of hidden romance that sprouts unexpectedly for both protagonists. It was written just as Chekhov himself was finding himself finally headed towards marriage and, uniquely for his time, one based on love. Our hosts discuss everything from the autobiographical overtones found in this magnificent work, to the practical foundations which set the historical context, the way Chekhov describes his scenes in so much detail with so little effort, some notes on its translations into English, and how this story actually shows action and movement on the part of its characters. The conclusions are many, but in the process of discussion we notice several themes and details that one might not pick up when reading this work on their own. This conversation is time well spent for the true Chekhov fan.

The Trilogy (Man in a Case, Gooseberries, About Love) - Part 2

In this episode, Lev Lesokhin and Alexander Burry conclude the discussion of Anton Chekhov’s “Little Trilogy”—The Man in a Case, Gooseberries, and About Love—and what makes them feel so relevant to our times. They talk about the trilogy’s shared setup. Same characters, same setting -- just people telling each other stories. They zero in on that unmistakable "cringe" factor: Belikov’s suffocating rigidity, and Ivan’s quiet disgust at his brother’s cozy, self-satisfied life. A big theme is what we’d now call “situationships”: awkward, stalled romances where nothing quite happens, from Belikov and Varenka to Alyohin and Anna. That ties into the core idea of “living in a case”. Physically, emotionally and morally. Where politeness, fear, and habit keep people stuck. Along the way, they touch on marriages, Chekhov’s moody settings (rain, darkness), and the idea of “domestic paradise” as its own kind of trap. Overall, it’s a conversation about how Chekhov captures something timeless: people knowing exactly what they want and going about it in their own, awkward ways.
