Abstract:

The article examines the publications of V.T. Shalamov about the magazine “Krasnaya Nov,” A.K. Voronsky and the literature of the 1920s. The author identifies the source of the fragments of the original text of Shalamov’s essay about the magazine “Krasnaya Nov” abridged in the journal publication. The article establishes a number of valuable observations of Shalamov about Voronsky’s personality and activities, as well as a number of his erroneous judgments about Voronsky’s literary and critical articles in the writer’s essay “A.K. Voronsky.” It turns out Shalamov’s opinion about the book “Beyond the Living and Dead Water” and the motives of interest in it. The author of the article reveals reasons for Shalamov’s appeal to Voronsky’s work, to the work of the commission on Voronsky’s literary heritage. Also she examines the history of relations and correspondence between Shalamov and Voronsky’s daughter Galina Alexandrovna and her husband I.S. Isaev. For the first time on the material of G.A. Voronskaya’s literary heritage, her tragic camp fate is considered. The article uses archival materials from the V.T. Shalamov Foundation in Russian State Archive of Literature and Arts, as well as unpublished materials from the archive of G.A. Voronskaya.
