==External links removed and placed here for scrutiny== 

 I took out the following as not particularly helpful or professional; I present them here in case anyone disagrees and wants any of them back in. The Taganrog site is unnecessary, in my opinion. The "in-depth" review of Chekhov's stories is in my opinion not professional (it seems rambling and badly written). Faina Ranevskaya is neither an external link nor crucial. The collection of short stories had an uncomfortable layout (words all the way across the screen); and anyway we have links to Gutenberg, which has all the works, and to another set of short stories.
