Anna Karenina, Part 4, Chapter 6 summary

Part 4, Chapter 6 of 239 · 6 min to read the chapter

In Chapter 6, Alexey Alexandrovitch faces political defeat when Stremov pushes his proposals to extremes, then distances himself from the resulting criticism. Alexey Alexandrovitch decides to investigate the native tribes himself, but his journey brings an unwanted meeting with his wife’s relatives in Moscow, where he avoids questions about Anna.

What happens

  1. A commission produces confident official findings that support Alexey Alexandrovitch’s position on the native tribes.
  2. Stremov supports more extreme measures, then disowns them when public criticism falls on Alexey Alexandrovitch.
  3. With the commission divided and his standing threatened, Alexey Alexandrovitch obtains permission to investigate conditions personally.
  4. His return of a travel allowance prompts disagreement between Betsy and Princess Myakaya.
  5. In Moscow, Stepan Arkadyevitch stops his reluctant brother-in-law, and Dolly asks about Anna and invites him to dinner.
  6. Alexey Alexandrovitch withdraws into his carriage, while Stepan Arkadyevitch leaves Dolly to obtain the children’s coats on credit.
