On 1 December Sergey Khudekov, the editor and publisher of Peterburgskaya Gazeta sent Chekhov a letter asking for a Christmas story. By late December the story had been finished. It appeared in the No.1, January 1899 edition of this newspaper. With some minor changes Chekhov included it into Volume 12 of the 1903, second edition the Collected Works by A.P.
