How did Anton Chekhov become internationally famous after World War I?

Although Anton Chekhov was already celebrated by the Russian literary public during his lifetime, he did not achieve international fame until the years following World War I.12

His rise to global prominence during this period was significantly aided by the publication of translations of his work, most notably those by Constance Garnett, which made his writing accessible to English and American readers. These translations helped introduce his unique, laconic style and his mature dramas to a wider international audience.134
