WHAT L. N. GUMILYOV DO WE KNOW?
L. N. Gumilev is one of the most cited Russian historians of the second half of the 20th century. However, few researchers have thought that when referring to L. N.

Gumilyov's works with the reprints (all of them posthumous) showed that the latter contain not only typos, but also unexplained changes in the author's text.

Gumilev is one of the more famous and at the same time controversial Russian historians of the second part of the twentieth century. But a few of scholars have paid attention to the quality of the reprints of his works. Nevertheless there are inexplicable variant readings between the reprints and the first editions of Gumilev's works. While all of the reprints are posthumous, we should know what changes in them belong to the author. In some cases such changes were made by the author himself. In other cases these textual changes were made by the editors. In few examples I was not able to find the reasons of variant readings. In addition, there are many er ... Читать далее
