Abstract:

The publication presents letters from Ivanov-Razumnik (R.V. Ivanov) to M.O. Gershenzon for 1907–1922, the entire surviving corrrespondence of the two writers. The letters reveal the details of journalistic and publishing weekdays, the discussion of plans for new literary projects; Ivanov-Razumnik’s short comments on the socio-political situation of 1917 are of interest. The letters feature a number of important figures in the literary world and the publishing industry (M.K. Lemke, I.D. Sytin, Andrei Bely, M.M. Prishvin and others).

Keywords: Russian literature of the early 20th century, history of journalism and social thought, correspondence of writers, Ivanov-Razumnik, Mikhail Gershenzon, archival publications.
