Abstract:
In the newspapers “The Soviet Patriot” (1945) in Paris and “The Literary Newspaper” (1955) in Moscow, Antonin Ladinsky published two articles dedicated to the 75th and the 85th anniversaries of Ivan Bunin. Bunin´s 85th anniversary Ladinsky celebrated with a lecture at a special event at the State Museum of Literature in Moscow, in which he described his personal relationship with the Nobel Prize winner between the two World Wars in Paris. In the next anniversary lecture in 1960, Ladinsky spoke about the French press reviews of Bunin’s books published in France. This paper is based on Ladinsky’s unpublished Paris diaries from the 1930s, Moscow diaries from the later 1950s and also manuscripts of memoires, articles and lectures.
