Abstract
The focus of our attention is Chekhov’s attitude to the institute of psychiatry as а part of Russian social system at the end of the 19th century. “Ward No. 6” is an invaluable material on the history of social medicine, comparable with the few documentary evidence of zemstvo (the county) doctors about the state of psychiatry in the Russian province of the late nineteenth century. The story “The Black Monk” draws increasing attention to the discussion around the topic of genius and madness, which received a new impetus in the fin de siècle era.
