M., "Pravda", 1990 Compilation by V. P. Enisherlov and S. S. Lesnevsky Introductory article by S. S. Lesnevsky Afterword by A. V. Lavrov Notes by N. A. BogomolovOCR Lovetskaya T.Yu. Sympathy with which it was received in to the public, my book about Alexander Blok forces me to continue writing in the same spirit, adding new materials to my first essay. Regarding the first half of the poet’s life, I will have to be content only with personal memories and letters, since my sister Alexandra Andreevna is no longer alive. For the rest, the poet’s widow will help me. I warn readers that many of the dates in my biography turned out to be inaccurate, since I wrote it without having in my hands all the papers and letters relating to Alexander Alexandrovich, and I used only the instructions of his mother, whose memory was greatly weakened in the past. Lately. Now all dates have been carefully checked and corrected. The portraits and groups collected in this book were supposed to appear in my biography, but were not included there due to circumstances beyond the control of the publisher. I will begin with explanations and memories regarding these portraits.
