But her work appreciated by many famous writers, such as. Bunin, B. Zaitsev V. Sologub, A. Averchenko, L. Andreev, Kuprin and many others - a circle of acquaintances writer was unusually wide.

Teffi admirers were people who had opposing political views, as Czar Nicholas II and. I. Lenin.

In 1971 an attempt was made publication of stories Teffi in the USSR, but a selection of works in accordance with the requirements of the Soviet ideology is unlikely to adequately reflect the creativity of the writer. The collection contains only satirical stories about the pre-revolutionary Russia and a life of exile in Paris.
