On the radio broadcast from November 7 to December 8, 2016, the work by Nikolay Leykin “In the Company of the Turks” was aired, performed by Stanislav Fedosov.
Nikolay Alexandrovich Leykin was a Russian journalist and writer. He was born on December 7, 1841, in Saint Petersburg, into a merchant family. He graduated from a German reform school, served as a clerk, worked in an insurance company, and engaged in commerce. However, most of all, the young man was drawn to literary activity. He wrote numerous essays, novellas, and plays. In addition, the writer was involved in politics and was a member of the St. Petersburg City Duma. He died on January 6, 1906, at the age of 64.
Glafira Semyonovna and Nikolay Ivanovich Ivanovs, already having the status of experienced travelers, went to Constantinople. On the way for them it wasn’t so difficult anymore. After the kingdom of the Roma—Hungary—the route ran through Slavic lands, and shared kinship made understanding easier. However, our compatriots still managed to stand out—almost ending up in crime news. Glafira Semyonovna threw a piece of ham at a Serbian customs officer, while Nikolay Ivanovich posed as a fraudster, giving interviews about the absence of samovars in Sofia and their influence on Russian-Bulgarian relations.
