Dear colleagues!

We are happy to welcome you on the website dedicated to the creative heritage of Innokentii Annenskii.

Fund № 6 “Innokentii Fedorovich Annenskii” is one of the oldest ones in RGALI, then the Central State Literary Archive. Being not the biggest in terms of size (just over 500 storage items), Annenskii’s fund is very significant in contents. The core of the fund is made up of autographs of poems and translations, among which can be singled out four extant autographs of copybooks “From the cypress box” (the future “Cypress casket”), as well as poet’s diaries and travel notes. The fund includes more than 150 articles on the history of literature and “pedagogical letters”, i.e. works dedicated to history and theory of pedagogy. Of no lesser interest are materials about translations – both final copies and drafts, articles, excerpts, lecture notes, reviews, lectures on ancient poetry, pictures of title pages of books created by the poet himself. Apart from creative materials, the fund contains correspondence and biographical documents.

The Manuscript Department of IRLI, RAS, owns 20 storage items which are directly connected with I. F. Annenskii’s creative life: letters to K. A. Siunnerberg (Erberg), A. N. Veselovskii, A. F. Koni, M. K. Lemke, L. N. Maikov, P. P. Semennikov, S. N. Syromiatnikov and others.
