"The Chorus Girl" (Russian: Хористка, romanized: Khoristka) is an 1886 short story by Anton Chekhov.
[note 1] In a radically revised version the story was included in the Posrednik Publishers' 1893 anthology Put-doroga (Путь-дорога, Long Road).
Chekhov made some more changes to the text before he included the story in Volume 2 of his Collected Works, published by Adolf Marks in 1899–1901.
Polotskaya commented that "Out of a humorous episode of the life of a promiscuous woman he made a lyrical, sad story of a hard done by and deeply insulted human being," targued.
