Repin's article 'V zashchitu novoi Akademii khudozhestv' ('In Defence of the New Academy of Arts') published in Knizhki 'Nedeli' (Books of 'The Week') prompted an angry response from Stasov in two articles - 'Prosvetitel' po chasti khudozhestva' and 'Prosvetitel' po chasti iskusstva' ('An Educator in Art') - in Novosti i birzhevaia gazeta (News and Stock Exchange Newspaper). Repin's article was subsequently quoted by Diaghilev in his polemics with Repin on the pages of the journal Mir iskusstva (The World of Art) in 1899.
