Why this record matters
“Anastasia Stashkevich” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Anastasia, Stashkevich and Russian provides the most credible route into that argument.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q28043114. VIAF identifies the subject as 14158066734908432665. The Library of Congress control number is no2020010675. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1984, 2003, 2009 and 2011.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
