Достоевские в Даровом (по материалам рукописного отдела Государственного музея истории российской литературы им. В. И. Даля)
Dostoevsky in Darovoe. Based on the Materials of the Manuscript Department of the Russian Literary History State Museum Named After V. I. Dahl

Summary/Abstract: There is very little documentary evidence of Fedor Dostoevsky’s childhood and adolescence. Besides the “direct” evidence, there are also the so-called “indirect” ones, in which the pages of Dostoevsky’s biography or events related to the life of the writer’s family are recorded indirectly. Such sources, first of all, are all sorts of official papers related to the property and economic sphere. In the the Manuscript Department of the Russian Literary History State Museum Named After V. I. Dahl there are “search books” of the Church of the Descent of the Holy Spiriton the Apostles in the village of Monogarovo, the analysis of which allowed us to make additional touches to the story of the daily life of Dostoevsky’s family, add some new dates into the “Chronicle of life and work of F. M. Dostoevsky”. The article gives an archaeographic description of the documents. A special attention is paid to the autographs of Maria Fedorovna, Mikhail Andreevich and Mikhail Mikhailovich Dostoevsky dated back to the 1830s - 1850s.
