<Pafnuty Chebyshev>'s 1867 paper “Des valeurs moyennes” develops bounds for deviations of sums in terms of their <expected values> and <second moments>. This connects his historical work with the modern <Chebyshev's inequality> and its use in the <weak law of large numbers>. https://www.numdam.org/item/JMPA_1867_2_12__177_0.pdf[Chebyshev's original paper in French translation]{ref}.
