Abstract:

These recollections paint a portrait of the prominent scholar from the author’s memory. They describe not only an outstanding philologist but also an interesting and exceptional human being. In particular, they recount Mann’s participation in a number of literary projects, including collections of articles about Belinsky (“True Knight of the Spirit”, 2013) and Gogol (“‘Selected Passages from Correspondence with Friends’: N. Gogol’s Book in the Mirror of Russian Social Thought of the 19th–21st Centuries”, 2021). The author also discusses Mann’s contribution to the debate of transferring the Moscow monument to the great writer that took place on the occasion of Gogol’s anniversary. She notes Y. Mann’s rare combination of scholarly and literary talents as well as describing some features of his character and details of his biography. Finally, she proposes perpetuating the memory of the prominent scholar by installing a memorial plaque on the house in Moscow where Mann lived.
