Abstract:

Nataliya Roskina (1927–1989) is known as a literary critic, memoirist, who wrote memoirs about A. Akhmatova, N. Zabolotsky, V. Grossman, N. Berkovsky, K. Chukovsky, S. Marshak, etc. The author of the article attempts to restore the relationship between Roskina and Nikolay Antsiferov (1889–1958), historian, ethnographer, literary man. They met regularly, had common friends, worked in “Literary heritage”. Antsiferov and Roskina became friends, shared research interests and love for Alexander Herzen. For the first time, Roskina’s memoir essay about Antsiferov is published. In her memoirs, Roskina expresses an idea of resemblance between Antsiferov’s and Herzen’s lives, which became a common place for researchers of Antsiferov’s creativity. Another plot developed by Roskina is the housing issue in the last years of historian’s life. Antsiferov’s neighbor Fedor Arilin demanded his eviction from the apartment. Roskina cites Arilin’s petition, conserving the orthography and punctuation of an illiterate person. This is an impressive document of the time, which shows the difficulties of Antsiferov’s everyday life in the 1950s.

Keywords: Nikolay Antsiferov, Nataliya Roskina, “Literary heritage”, Herzen’s family tragedy, Sofiya Garelina, housing issue
