Abstract:

The article analyzes the publications of I.A. Bunin in the Paris newspaper “Vozrozhdenie” (Renaissance) in 1925–1927. Bunin published in the “Vozrozhdenie” articles, essays, poems and stories. The most important role in the history of the newspaper was played by the publication of Bunin’s “Okayanny Dni”. If fictional elements may be fixed in the book edition of “Okayanny Dni”, then in the newspaper edition of “Renaissance” it is important both for Bunin and for the newspaper’s editorial office to install on documentary character of Bunin’s “diary”. Bunin’s “Okayanny Dni” and essays are considered in the article in the context of the newspaper policy. Among the stories and poems published in 1925–1927 new versions of pre-revolutionary works prevail. At the same time, it was on the pages of the “Vozrozhdenie” that Bunin’s famous stories such as “Ida” and “Notre-dame de la Garde” were first published.
