"Peasants" is an 1897 novella by Anton Chekhov. Upon its publication it became a literary sensation of the year, caused controversy (even the Chekhov admirer Leo Tolstoy labeled it "the crime against the people") but in retrospect is regarded as one of Chekhov's masterpieces.
The novella was first published in the April 1897 issue of Russkaya Mysl. With minor changes and some additions to Chapter IX, it came out as a separate edition, first via Alexey Suvorin Publishing House, then (also the same year) as part of the book called 1. Peasants. 2. My Life. With further minor edits, Chekhov included it into 9 of his Collected Works published by Adolf Marks in 1899-1901.
