How can you describe Anton Chekhov’s time?

Question by Kevan: How would you describe Anton Chekhov’s time (1860 – 1904)?
Are there massive killings, murders, discontent, unhappiness, or other crimes during that time? What are some known examples of events which could prove the lifetime during that time (1860-1904)? I know that there are betrayals back then, but what about others?
I need additional help on this one. Thanks in advanced!

Answer by PlainPat
Chekhov wrote a lot about the fall of the old Renaiisance splendor and the dispossession of the old families. Russia was still under the authority of the Czar, but the poor were growing discontent, and the power of the army was dwindling. Remember he also wrote comedies like The Marriage Proposal which centered on the humor of property claims and the poorer farmers. 15 years after this, 1919, the Russian Revolution would displace the Czar and mark the rise of Communism.
