| Summary / Abstract (Note) | OVER 100 YEARS AGO, the Russian Academy of Sciences received from Paris a vast archive of the Turgenev brothers (their letters, diaries and other documents) repatriated by son of Nikolai Turgenev. Alexander Fomin* who had done a lot to bring the precious documentary collection to Russia spent many years reading, studying and, bit by bit, publishing it. The students of Pushkin and his epoch were jubilant: the legends and stories which came down to them by word of mouth and tales yarned by the few who outlived the epoch of the great poet - in short, everything on which the Pushkin studies had been standing - could be confirmed (or disproved.) By that time, all contemporaries of the great poet had been dead - there was nobody to raise havoc, to object and to condemn the violators of ethics. |
