С. 76–98.

Королева А. М.

The article discusses the epistolary dialogue of B. Pasternak with P. Vasiliev (1907–1944). Materials were taken from Russian State Archive of Literature and Art (Moscow). The article first time publishes P. Vasilievs’ ego-ocuments “Letters to Wife from The Front”, which the writer planned to use while working on the epilogue of “Doctor Zhivago” about the Great Patriotic War. In 158 letters, Pasternak’s name or his works are mentioned more than fifty times. In the study, based on documentary sources from Military Archives, Vasiliev’s biography is restored. The section devoted to the reception of Pasternak’s creativity in “Letters to Wife from The Front” examines the facts reading Pasternak’s works on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War. As a result, the published documents show that readers were more often attracted not by Pasternak’s military poems, but by his former works. The ego-documents studies contribute to the consideration of the reception of Pasternak’s works and personality by his contemporaries. The Appendix to the article contains excerpts from “Letters to Wife from The Front” dedicated to the Vasiliev’s reflection on his correspondence with the poet.
