Letters from A. I. Koshelev to Priest M. F. Rayevsky (1856–1860): The Slavic Theme in the Russkaya Beseda Journal

Section: Materials, Documents, Publications

For the first time, this article introduces and comments on 12 letters of the publisher and editor of the Slavophile journal Russkaya Beseda A.I. Koshelev to Priest M. F. Raevsky, who was the abbot of the Russian embassy church in Vienna and, as the published epistolary shows, the main intermediary between the Moscow editorial office of the magazine and its numerous Slavic correspondents. We found the letters in the Department of Written Sources of the Historical Museum (Moscow). They make it possible to expand the circle of Slavic correspondents of Russkaya Beseda, both those whose articles were published and those whose articles were rejected; in addition, they help clarify the issue of some pseudonyms; demonstrate the strategy of the work of a Slavophile editor with Slavic authors, his desire to publish only verified, scientifically substantiated articles, confirmed by various sources.
