"More than 30 books were published to F. Dostoevsky’s summer anniversary.

We can safely say that this is an unprecedented case in literary science, I would even say such a kind of collective scientific feat, indicating the enormous potential of asks, and about that spit on it. The name of the great Russian classic, the love of which and gratitude resulted in such unique collective monographs. The secrets of the work of the genius. Petersburg, in the introductory article by I.

Andrianova a brief story and sometimes the dramatic fate of Dostoevsky's manuscripts - from a happy salvation to tragic loss and destruction. As rightly indicated, the need for a complete scientific description of Dostoevsky’s autographs - documents of priority reliability - has rushed back in Soviet times. The problem of preserving the manuscript heritage of Dostoevsky also is that the manuscripts and documents of Dostoevsky are scattered around the world, but their association into one archive, paradoxically, will not solve the problem.

The process of describing archival documents is an incredibly complex and painstaking work that requires certain knowledge, skills, etc. The description of the manuscripts of F. Nechaeva, which has existed, is designed to solve the problem of “systematizing all the basic relevant data on the autographs of Dostoevsky storage, composition, content, first publications” [Andrianova: 20].

Despite the multi -characteristic notes, Dostoevsky’s manuscript is taken “as a separate archival unit, a single document in the author’s sequence” [Andrianova: 20]. According to the researchers, “this principle of description facilitates the research search and allows you not to lose sight of the essential parts of the manuscript” [Andrianova: 22].

Archival materials in the book were divided into 10 sections: “Notebooks and notebooks”, “Manuscripts of works”, “Records in albums”, “Records on separate sheets”, “Records related to editorial and publishing”, “Letters”, “Official documents and business papers”, “Records and letters on books and letters” and photographs "," Comic verses in the records of A.It is difficult to overestimate the great importance and significance of represented labor.

For example, the first section contains a description of Dostoevsky's “notebooks and notebooks”, which are “political materials that allow not only to penetrate the writer’s creative laboratory: to understand how the plans of artistic works were born, how they were filled with content and acquired a form, but also to find out what household issues took care of it at that time.

Notebooks and notebooks contain preparatory materials for the writer's key works of the novels “Crime and Punishment”, “Idiot”, “Demons”, “Teenager” ”[Andrianova: 23]. The description of each notebook and a notebook is accompanied by a meticulously compiled scientific apparatus, including an indication of the archive and encryption, a general description of the theme of the theme, dating, content, partial publication, complete or with corrections.

The new decoding, as well as the “analysis of biographical data and taking into account the historical and literary context” allowed researchers “to justify more accurate dating and the sequence of filling out books and notebooks” [Andrianova: 24]. Of great interest are for researchers of the biography and work of the writer the records of unfulfilled plans, drafts of letters, various records related to the editorial and publishing activities of Dostoevsky, business and economic notes and notes presented in the section.

The compilers of a new description of manuscripts abandoned some sections of “Description. Dostoevsky’s manuscripts are described in four sections: “manuscripts of works”, “Records in albums”, “Records on separate sheets”, “Records related to editorial and publishing”, as well as in the special section “Comic verses in A. Dostoevsky’s manuscripts, more than 90 are included in“ Description.

The study reflects the history of the existing manuscripts, the actual storage places are indicated. Section VIII is very interesting and significant, in which Dostoevsky’s instruments are recorded on the books and letters of his correspondents, as well as on official documents. The compilers are taken into account on letters and envelopes of Dostoevsky correspondents.

Most droppings were made by Dostoevsky on letters and envelopes from readers of the Writer's Diary: this suggests that, despite the lack of time and illness, the writer tried to answer the most important and acute questions.

Section IX describes "Data inscriptions in books and photographs." In the final X section of this publication, “comic verses in the records of A. are deciphered and described and described Dostoevskaya, "which in" Description. The authors of this fundamental labor M. Vyal: Section II, O. Sosnovskaya: section VI, L. Tikhomirov: sections VII and IX did a truly invaluable work, systematizing and complementing the well -known and introducing previously unaccounted documents of the Dostoevsky manuscript heritage.

And the hopes of the editor of the publication I. Andrianova are fully justified that the book will help to “appreciate the importance of collecting and archival activities of A. Dostoevskaya, and will also become a writer’s guide for researchers, will captivate them with archival searches and thereby be an incentive for the further development of the science of Dostoevsky” [Andrianova: 32].

Particular attention is also attracted by the collective monograph “Unknown and little-known sources of the biography of F. Dahl” as the project manager P. Fokin indicated in the preface, the study is aimed at “identifying and interpreting those data that, for some reason, or were out of sight of the researchers, or were in demand partially, so to speak, optionally” [unknown and little-known sources: 17].

Dalya Ill. Petersburg, the book is reinforced in the book The very fact of the biography: “This picture of life includes both obvious elements of the event, namely, the place of action, time, circumstances, social partners, and less obvious but no less significant, and sometimes their decisive angles, both the location in space, synchronization, activity and intensity of interaction, the physical and mental state of a person, his system values, the level of awareness, etc.

In this understanding, the fact of a biography cannot only be an abstract statement of what happened, but should always contain an analytical ascent to the specifics of its manifestation. Only in this case, the set of actions and actions of a person becomes the fact of his biography, which, in turn, is not a linear fixation of events in the order of their chronological sequence, but a novel that reveals the lessons of fate ”[Unknown and little -known sources:].

The book presents biographical materials related to different periods of Dostoevsky’s life, and in the bulk they do not change the general idea of ​​the biography of the writer. But “each contains information that allows you to supplement the known facts of the biography with new elements of events, to clarify their angle” [Unknown and little -known sources: 18].

The book consists of three parts.This includes: text materials of letters, notes and notes, notebooks from the collection of A. Dostoevskaya; Visual materials Official documents of Dostoevsky, describing his relations with the state and public organizations, documents belonging to the Kinoposion of the Writer, the printing products of theaters related to the productions of the late XIX - early XX centuries.

According to the notes of the search books of the Church of the Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles of the village of Monogarov, the collected information about Dostoevsky in Darovoy; Unknown details of A. Rizenkampf about young Dostoevsky are scrupulously analyzed, commented and restored. The last newspaper read by F. Dostoevsky is presented, which allowed to add “additional strokes to the picture of the intellectual life of Dostoevsky of its last earthly days” [unknown and little -known sources: 85]; Telegrams collected in the book of different persons to A.
