"Grisha" (Russian: Гриша) is an 1886 short story by Anton Chekhov.[1]
The idea for the story was suggested to Chekhov by Viktor Bilibin, who in a 14 March 1886 letter wrote: "[What about] the psychology sketch of a small boy, 2, 3 or 4 year old? In a short story?" It was first published on 18 (o.s.: 5) April in the No. 14, 1886 issue of Oskolki magazine. In a slightly revised version it was included by Chekhov into Volume 1 of his Collected Works published in 1899–1901 by Adolf Marks.[1]
