[264] N’s stories seemed to be about some of the Chertkovs’ difficult experiences in England. [265] Prince S. N. Troubetskoi (1862–1905), professor of philosophy in the Moscow University, took an active part in the magazine, _Problems of Philosophy and Psychology_, and became after N. Y. Grot’s death, the editor of it. Tolstoi, as was said above, gave his work, _What Is Art?_ to this magazine. [266] Of these subjects Tolstoi, as much as can be judged, made use of the following: the first, _Father Sergius_, 1898; the second, _The Posthumous Memoirs of the Monk, Fedor Kuzmich_, 1905; the fourth, _Korni Vasiliev_, 1905; fifth, _The Resurrection of Hell and Its Destruction_, 1902; sixth, _The Forged Coupon_, 1902–1904; seventh, _Hadji Murad_, 1898, 1902–1904; the tenth, _Resurrection_, 1898–1899; and the thirteenth, _The Divine and the Human_, 1903–1904; the twelfth subject, _Mother_, was begun by Tolstoi in the beginning of the nineties (Introduction to _The Story of a Mother_, or _A Mother’s Notes_). [267] It was disagreeable to Tolstoi that the foreign publishers, who wished to print the first edition of his book, _What Is Art?_ made the condition that it should appear everywhere simultaneously and that it should not be published anywhere first, not even in Russia. Tolstoi, being little acquainted with the conditions of foreign publication, did not understand at first how unavoidable these demands were for a simultaneous publication of books in various countries, and he was disagreeably embarrassed that he had to absolutely forbid the appearance of the book in Russia before the day arranged for foreign publication. Later, realising the affair more closely, Tolstoi saw the necessity of these conditions of the publishers. [268] I.e., he entirely finished the work _What Is Art?_ and gave it to _Problems of Philosophy and Psychology_. [269] V. G. Chertkov, being exiled from Russia, settled in England, where he founded the publication, _The Free Press_, in which the works of Tolstoi were printed, as well as of authors near to him in point of view which could not be printed in the Russian papers. He also arranged for the translations of the new works of Tolstoi into the important European tongues. The telegram which Tolstoi mentions must have been about the English translation of _What is Art?_ [270] Sofron Pavlovich Chizhov, a peasant from the district of Umansk, in the province of Kiev, because of his spreading of views adverse to the orthodox religion, was exiled by administrative order, first to Poland and then to eastern Siberia. His _Memoirs_ were printed in _The Free Press_, No. 10, 1904. Tolstoi often wrote to Chizhov in exile, expressing his joy that he bears all oppression “like a man, with patience and with love.” Chizhov has remained in Siberia for life and at present is living near Yakutsk.
