Abstract
The article is dedicated to a story from the literary life of Russian emigration related to the anniversary of Boris Zaitsev of 1926. The article introduces hitherto unknown archival material that demonstrates how Alexey Remizov worked to cover this literary event in the pages of the European press. Archival documents (fragments of a hitherto unpublished emigrant period correspondence of Remizov and Zaitsev) and unknown print sources have allowed me to describe the nature of the relationship between two writers sharing similar literary biographies in the context of the literary situation of 1926. The anniversary celebration as a factor of public recognition for Remizov became an occasion for integrating significant phenomena of Russian literature into European literature and culture. The article contains obscure biographical information about Remizov’s correspondents.

Summary
Творческая жизнь двух писателей имела немало точек пересечений и даже биографических совпадений. Ремизова к юбилею своего литературного «близнеца» Бориса Зайцева, писателя со схожей творческой биографией, подтверждает, что хлопоты, связанные с подготовкой торжества, были направлены на более важные и долговременные задачи, чем празднование календарной даты. Зайцева как значительное культурное событие в жизни русской литературной эмиграции уже был анонсирован на страницах газеты «Дни».
