A short story is a subgenre of the story.  Due to it's shortness compared to story it is named as short story. The first examples of the short story are given by American writers like Washington Irving, Edgar Allen Poe by the beginning of the 19th century. Since then the short story has been considered as a literary genre in itself. As for World literature, in Russian literature, this literature genre has made progress especially with Chekhov-type of story, besides from Pushkin, Gogol, Gorki. One can see that there are two bacis narration types of this modern story which has almost 200 years of past. One of these narration types is "event story" presented by French novelist-short story writer Guy de Maupassant and the other is "situation story" introduced by Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. The aim of our work is to introduce generally the storytelling of Chekhov, who is one of the most important writers of short story in the history of Russian literature and took an important place in World literature thanks to the innovations he brought to this field.
