During the years when VN's work could not appear in his homeland, the CHekhov Publishing House in New York put out three of his works in 1952-56
(with CIA funding): the first full text of DAR (The Gift); the story collection Vesna in v Fial'te (Spring in Fialta); and the expanded Russian translation of VN autobiography. Although these texts are now more cheaply available in indigenous Russian editions, the now rare Chekhov editions are being offered by "GLOBUS, A Slavic Bookstore" in San Francisco at $25 for DAR and $20 for the other two.
These are collectors items. Many American Slavists (including myself), Russian emigres, and Soviet underground readers first read the Russian VN in these paper editions.
