How was life like for Russians in the 1890's (characters in Chekhov's The Seagull)?
I'm doing research on Chekhov's play The Seagull.
I'm having trouble finding the lifestyle of the people in that play during that time. Links to more information would be much appreciated.

Try search http://www.jstor.org/ for articles on that period of the Russian history. All stuff is free.
Look what I found in a couple of clicks:
