The article publishes and analyzes the correspondence between the historian of antiquity Elena A. Millior (1900–1978) and the classical philologist Yakov M. Borovsky (1896–1994), covering the years 1946–1960 and preserved in the archives of the Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkin House) of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Bibliotheca Classica Petropolitana in St. Petersburg. Special attention is paid to Millior’s role in developing the humanities at the Udmurt State Pedagogical Institute and to her professional and personal ties with leading Leningrad scholars. These documents are introduced into scholarly circulation for the first time. The letters discuss issues of teaching ancient languages, the state of Soviet classical philology, problems of ancient history, and questions of philological methodology. The correspondence serves as a valuable source on the history of Russian scholarship, reconstructing the intellectual atmosphere of the postwar decades and the fate of scholars striving to preserve humanistic traditions under challenging historical conditions.
