This article is devoted to the problem of relationship between the government and the academic staff of the Moscow University in Russia during the years from 1908 to 1911. The research is based on the diary of historian A.N.Savin. It is an attempt to reconstruct the attitude of the university staff to the government policy and to reveal the most complicated and painful questions in the university life. Among all - it is a problem of relationship and mutual understanding between the student and academic body, the intelligentsia question of moral authority. Those events in Russian academic life and the mass resignation of the professors from Moscow University seemed to be the first «purge» of the intellectuals in Russia in the XXth century.
The cycle "Imitations of the Ancients" (1821) is described in the article as an episode from Batyushkov's reception-derived practices. Sources for three of the six miniatures in "Imitations" are found (fragments of Saadi's "Gulistan"as adapted by J.-H. Herder), as well as the syntactic-compositional model for another miniature ("Когда в страдании девица отойдет..."/"When the maiden, suffering, passes away..."). Analysis of how this model functions provides the basis for a hypothesis for precising the manner in which topoi in this text are linked to its plot.
