Chekhov had passed away in 1904, shortly before the story’s completion. Andreyev’s work was highly praised by Maxim Gorky in a letter to the author, who described it as extremely important, timely, and compelling. The story had a profound and immediate impact on Russian readers and critics alike. Its intense exploration of human fear, morality, and the horrors of war captivated audiences. Within the same year, it was translated into several languages, cementing its international literary significance.
