Abstract:

The social as well as historical and literary context of A.M. Remizov’s creative biography, connected with the writer and his wife’s departure from Russia (August 1921) and two years spent in “Russian” Berlin, is reconstructed in the paper on the basis of multiple archival materials. The biographical outline allows to fill temporal and historical literary lacunae in Remizov's letters to his wife, the main contents of the manuscript “At the Evening Dawn”. The article is a stage in preparation of a scientific creative biography of Remizov, which will accompany the full publication of “At the Evening Dawn”.

Keywords: A.M. Remizov, creative biography, epistolary literature, writer’s letters, archival materials.
