Abstract:
In 1921 Maxim Gorky went to Germany. This decision was preceded by a truly rich creative time. The work on the main works had been completed, the publishing houses “Parus” and “World Literature,” as well as the “Letopis’” magazine, had been opened, anti-war articles, the cycle “Untimely Thoughts,” had been written. The bright period leading up to emigration did not go unnoticed in both metropolitan and provincial publications. In this regard, the reception of the biographical and creative path of the writer in the newspaper “Yuzhnyj kraj” is of the interest. The purpose of the article is to identify and trace the nature of publications dedicated to the writer in 1914–1917. This will show a change in the vector of the “Yuzhnyj kraj’s” editorial policy.
