Several of his novellas were published by Nablyudatel, numerous essays and sketches appeared in Severny Vestnik, Novoye Vremya, Siyaniye and Russkaya Zhizn.[2]
Zasodimsky was a popular children’s writer; his best-known stories appeared in two collections: Soulful Stories (Задушевные рассказы) and The True Stories and Fairytales (Бывальщина и сказки).
