Abstract:

The extensive unpublished correspondence of S. A. Rachinsky with the writer Ivan Shcheglov (I. L. Leontiev), which was conducted from 1891 to 1900, is a vivid epistolary monument of great historical and literary significance. Most of the literary subjects discussed here are related to the work of one of the participants in the correspondence. Rachinsky interprets Shcheglov’s works mainly from the point of view of a teacher, assessing their suitability or unsuitability for a wide range of readers and for his own schoolchildren. The article for the first time publishes large fragments of letters from 1891, one of which touches on the topic of war.
