Abstract:

The paper presents the materials of the anniversary online exhibition, shown on October 28, 2020 to the participants of the international academic conference “Ivan Bunin and His Time” (IRLI RAS). For the first time, a significant part of both known and newly discovered materials of unique historical and literary significance related to Bunin’s personal and creative biography was collected and presented as a whole. These materials are stored at the Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkin House) of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the collections of its Manuscript Department, the Literary Museum and the Research Library. The article contains a reconfirmed attribution of many archival, iconographic and book materials, which are accompanied by a detailed scientific and technical description. Such work allows us to start the preparational works on the catalog “Materials of Ivan Bunin from the collections of the Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkin House) of the Russian Academy of Sciences”.
