- Abstract:
The paper introduces into scientific circulation all the lists of the poem “To the Present War” (“Vot, v voinstvennom azarte...”) anonymously published in different editions in 1854 and kept in P.A. Vyazemsky’s archive. It analyzes their variant readings in comparison with the printed text and the intriguing late indication of Grand Prince Admiral K.N. Romanov as the author of this poem in one of the lists.
- Keywords: the Crimean War, patriotic poetry, P.A. Vyazemsky, lists of poems, autographs.
