Yevgeny Garshin (Russian: ¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿) (August 27, 1860 -1931) was a Russian teacher, novelist, publisher, director of the Commercial College in Taganrog (1901), younger brother of the Russian writer Vsevolod Garshin. Yevgeny Mikhailovich Garshin was born in 1860 in Bahmut of Yekaterinoslav Government. In 1884 Yevgeny Garshin graduated from the Faculty for History and Philology at the Saint Petersburg University. Since 1886 he lectured Russian literature at various gymnasiums of Saint Petersburg. Around 1900 Garshin moved to Taganrog, where he was appointed director of the Taganrog Commercial College in 1901. In 1904, soon after death of Anton Chekhov, he initiated the creation of the Chekhov Circle. He was elected chairman of that circle and submitted an application to the Taganrog City Council, soliciting municipal acquisition of the birth house of Anton Chekhov in Taganrog. The memorial plate was placed in 1910. This further led to creation of the Chekhov Museum Birthhouse of Anton Chekhov in 1926, following the municipal acquisition in 1915.
