description The aim of this study is to interpret and analyze medical motive in A.P. Chekhov’s early and little known to researcher feuilletons by A.P. Chekhov Fragments of Moscow Life . The author attempts to reconstruct the view of Chekhov the publicist and to reveal the reasons for the predominance of critical intonation in the description of the problems of social medicine. The task of the study is to analyze the language of the essays, its narrative and descriptive formulas found in this cycle of feuilletons. As a result of the study, the author concludes that it was medical practice that allowed Chekhov the writer not only to understand human suffering more deeply, but also to directly encounter the vices of the health care system. In the cycle of feuilletons Fragments of Moscow life begins to form the dominant artistic style of the writer. Chekhov’s main task is not to criticize the existing authorities, but to emotionally involve the reader in the actual problems of society and the health care system.
