Abstract

The publication presents 15 letters of Academician Viktor Maksimovich Zhirmunsky (1891–1971) to Lydia Korneevna Chukovskaya (1907–1996), that form a part of their correspondence of 1966–1970. The main topic of the letters was the preliminary work on the publication of the Collected Poems by A. А. Akhmatova in the Library of a Poet series. The correspondents discussed the establishment of a canonical text in Akhmatova’s poetic heritage, issues pertaining to attribution, as well as the facts of the poetess’ literary biography.
