Just dropping everything to share this terrific monologue/lecture by Matthew Raphael Johnson (MRJ) on Anton Chekhov’s “Ward No. 6”, “A Nervous Breakdown” and “The Black Monk”. This is right up my alley of interest and MRJ gives a masterclass on every topic he talks about – especially Russian Medieval History, Orthodoxy and Literature.
He interprets Chekhov’s writings with particular reference to Empathy, Modernity, Psychosociology, the Russian Soul and the beginning of Allopathic Medicine as an evil force.
