Could the creator of the “Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language” be the author of the “Note on Ritual Murders”? Writer and publicist Semyon Reznik gave a convincing, indisputable analysis of the fake note, which is persistently attributed to Dahl’s authorship, in his work “Stained Dal”. In various versions it was published in magazines, in online publications, a separate edition was published at St. Petersburg University, included in the collection “Through Children and Incense”. The analysis is comprehensive - at the historical, lexical, stylistic and semantic levels of Dahl’s texts. However, even the popular (and Reznik’s work is popular; a Yandex search for “Stained Dal” gets 4 thousand links) the research will not replace the trial. Which would rule once and for all that the name of the great Dahl, the genius of Russian literature, was and continues to be used for certain purposes. A trial is necessary to establish the truth. And stop there, cut off all reasons for speculation. Because the matter goes far beyond literature, literature - it was originally political, social. Using literature.
