Почти во всех случаях указываются два инициала — можно представить, сколько труда потребовалось, чтобы их установить или выверить. Функцию такой же «скрепы» выполняет и предисловие К. Ю.

Text: А. К. TOLSTOY: A REMEMBRANCE AND AN APPRECIATION by A. V. Riasanovsky and L. Prednewa * It is unnecessary for us to expound upon the greatness of Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy or to catalogue the achievements of his genius. What can be said, however, concerning the less renown authors also named Tolstoy? Almost inevitably, the obvious comparison comes to mind, the results of which are easily predictable. Few indeed are those who can be measured by the giant yardstick of Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy. Still,

Text: Akhmatova's «Пушкин и невское взморье» Susan Amert* Anna Akhmatova's essays on Pushkin are an integral part of her creative work. As Levin, et al., write in «Русская семантическая поэтика как потенциальная культурная парадигма,» Akhamova's writings on Pushkin are а «способ самовыражения: это проза о трагической духовной ситуации поэта . . . , и о путях преодоления её, если не в жизни, то в творчестве.» 1 Nowhere is this second, self-referential layer of meaning felt as strongly as

VIII, p. 285), the article on A Contribution to the History of Russian Emigration inadvertantly omits the name of the reviewer, who is N. P. Poltoratzky, Ph. D., who is a Professor and Chairman of the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures of the University of Pittsburgh. The Board of Editors regrets the omission.

Text: оксюморонах, «звучное молчанье». Здесь уже и ни жар и ни прохлада, а что-то иное, как два элемента в химическом процессе, теряя свои свойства, становятся чем-то третьим.

Text: Alexander P. Obolensky. «Nicholas Gogol and Hieronimous Bosch». The Russian Review — April 1973 (Vol. 32, No. 2). This article exhibits a most penetrating insight on the treated subject. Despite the limitations of a 13 page article, the author has succeeded to give a detailed presentation of the close analogy existing between the 19th Century writer Gogol and the 16th Century painter Hieronimous Bosch. The latter, although a part of a Century imbued with the Renaissance influence and with buddin

Text: And in Conclusion, Who Is Tbmsky? (Rereading "The Queen of Spades")* Gleb Zekulin** "The Queen of Spades" provoked an enthusiastic response among its readers from the moment of its publication in Библиотека для чтения (second issue for 1834). Pushkin himself is said to have remarked in a letter to a friend that his "Queen of Spades" enjoyed great success, and that all the gamblers were betting on the three, the seven, and the ace. With a few exceptions, contemporary

Text: Andrei Sakharov — The Man and His Thought NUdta Moravsky* I was born in 1921 in Moscow into a cultured and close family. My father was a teacher of physics and the author of several widely known textbooks and popular science books. From childhood I lived in an atmosphere of decency, mutual help, and tact, a liking for work, and respect for the mastery of one's chosen profession. 1 This is the way Andrei Dmitrievich Sakharov, Soviet academician, Nobel Peace Prize winner and human rights acti

Text: ANGLO-AMERICAN BOOKS ON LJV. TOLSTOY: A critical bibliography for the 70's K. Filips-Juswigg* This critical bibliography includes books on L.N. Tolstoy in EngUsh published in England and America or by English or American writers published elsewhere during the 70's. As the number of monographs on Tolstoy alone would indicate, the current decade has witnessed a striking increase in English language publications in the general field of Russian literature. In the 60's an increase in p

Text: ANOTHER LOOK AT PUSHKIN'S BYRONISM DAVID M. BETHEA University of Wisconsin-Madison The second trend I oppose is the imperative that many scholars feel to produce new interpretations of works of literature. More often than not this leads to distortion, hairsplitting, and a reductive sense of the works' meanings. What I propose instead is that a work of literature be seen as a structure that can motivate a specific range of divergent and even contradictory interpretations of varying degr

Text: Art Movements in Russian Painting of the Early 20th Century: Some Definitions Nikita D. Lobanov* Much has been written, and is being written, about the "Russian AvantGarde," namely the experimental movements active in Russia during the first quarter of this century. In the Soviet Union these art movements are referred to as "leftist trends" rather than as the "avant-garde". As a lay reader of publications on topics dealing with Russian and Soviet painting, I have ha

Biographical Parallels Recent studies of nonsense literature have broadened the chronological range of this genre, which had earlier been thought to have originated in nineteenth-century England.! Nonsense has been identified as a current in medieval and Renaissance Europe, distinguishable in several national traditions and, as far as England is concerned, its emergence has been convincingly traced to the se

Science THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN HEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE OF THE EYE AND UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS by Helena Fedukowicz * John Weeks was a New Yorker who isolated the Gram negative bacillus from acute epidemic conjunctivitis, «pink eye». He was the first to accomplish growth of this organism. Similar bacilli in acute conjunctivitis were independently described by Robert Koch, and the joint name Koch-Weeks bacillus came into usage, now replace by geographic name bac. Aegyptius. The KW. b

Text: Aurum Vulgi Марина Костолевская* Как и любое произведение А. С. Пушкина, каждая из его маленьких трагедий — уникальна. Однако в «Скупом рыцаре» эта уникальность дополняется особыми чертами. Во-первых, «Скупой рыцарь» — единственное (помимо незаконченных «Сцен из рыцарских времен», о которых будет речь впереди) драматическое произведение поэта, сюжет которого совершенно самостоятелен. Барон, а с ним и все, кто его окружают, не имеют ни исторических, ни легендарных, ни литературных прототипов, как
