Career
In 1881-1884 Ivan Alekseevich was a teacher at Samara City College. He was interested in the revolutionary movement and was in correspondence with his older brother Nikolai, who was under the overt surveillance of the police. Since 1887, Ivan Alekseevich served in Samara in the administration of the Samara-Ufa Railway; in 1892-1896 he held the post of governor of the department for the construction of the West-Siberian Railway.
After the satirical essay Zemets. Experience and biographical stories of the zemstvos he published a number of stories, the content of which is a criticism of social order and social conflicts. He described the quarrel of the rural teacher with the money-grubber (Struggle) or the inspector careerist (Because of the twelve and a half), the position of the teacher (I didn’t comply), the moral degradation of the teachers of the county town (From boredom). His work Painted from nature is the story of a peasant guy who despite the resistance of the environment learned to read and write and became a teacher. His other work - Get down to business- raised the problem of "awakened consciousness" characteristic of the 80s (it was republished under the title Self-taught Maxim), but it was criticized for being unconvincing in depicting public life. Ivan Alekseevich is also known for the stories Cut slice, Makarushka, and the essay Fighting the Epidemic.
