Abstract

The article presents a find from the archives – a clean copy of D.S. Merezhkovsky’s article. Its origins are reconstructed from the letters of Merezhkovsky, V.I. Nemirovich-Danchenko and A.A. Stakhovich. The article was inspired by the Merezhkovskys’ visit to the MAT in May 1916, where they attended a performance of the play “Joy will come”. Merezhkovsky drew further points from numerous newspaper reviews, which criticized him for imitating A.P. Chekhov’s and F.M. Dostoevsky’s works. The article had been initially written for the “Russkoye slovo” newspaper, but once Nemirovich-Danchenko reviewed it and objected to its publication it remained in the director’s archive.
