The article discusses the contribution of Nina Berberova (writing under the pseudonym Ivelich) to the emigrant newspaper Vozrozhdenie at the end of the 1920s. It examines the connection between one of her own works dedicated to critic Vyacheslav Polonskiy and a number of literary articles by Gulliver (the shared pseudonym of Vladislav Khodasevich and Nina Berberova). The author of the article draws some conclusions about the extent to which literary events in the USSR could be understandable to emigrant critics and readers of that time.

Keywords: Russian emigration journalism, first wave of emigration, newspaper Vozrozhdenie, Nina Berberova, Vladislav Khodasevich, Vyacheslav Polonskiy, Soviet literature
