  Собственноручный рисунок с автографом писателя Владимира Набокова Собственноручный рисунок с автографом писателя Владимира Набокова Владимир Набоков — выдающийся писатель, поэт, переводчик и литературовед, оставивший значительный след в мировой культуре. Родился в 1899 году в Санкт-Петербурге в аристократической семье. После революции эмигрировал, проживая в Германии, Франции, а затем в США и Швейцарии. Наиболее известен своими произведениями, такими как «Лолита», «Защита Лужина», «Дар» и «Ада», отличающимися утончённым стилем, сложной структурой и игрой слов. Помимо литературной деятельности, Набоков был страстным энтомологом, посвятившим годы изучению бабочек и сделавшим вклад в лепидоптерологию. P. Hector, изображённый на рисунке, является видом, также известным как «Красный парусник», распространённым в Индии и на Шри-Ланке. Он отличается ярко-красными пятнами на тёмных крыльях, что делает его особенно заметным среди растительности. На рисунке Набокова видно его внимание к деталям: он тщательно прорисовывал изгибы крыльев и узоры, показывая свою глубокую любовь к этому виду искусства. В 1967 году, когда Набоков уже жил в Швейцарии, он продолжал писать статьи о бабочках для научных журналов и консультировать сотрудников Американского музея естественной истории, где до сих пор хранятся его коллекции.

  Autographed photo by writer Leo Tolstoy Autographed photo by writer Leo Tolstoy The text of the appeal: "From / Leo Tolstoy/ 1909 Yasnaya Polyana Leo Tolstoy is one of the pillars of Russian culture, embodying the greatness of literature, the power of moral ideas and protest against spiritual inertia. His views and beliefs formed the basis of a whole religious and philosophical trend, which is called Tolstoyism. The literary legacy of the writer amounted to 90 volumes of artistic and journalistic works, diary notes and letters. 1909 was the last full year of Tolstoy's life in Yasnaya Polyana, the family estate where he spent most of his life and created his main works. During this period, the 81-year-old writer, already an internationally recognized classic, actively corresponded with followers, worked on journalism and received numerous guests, including photographers. The presented autograph is one of the rare documentary evidence of this time — photographs in Yasnaya Polyana were taken infrequently due to technical difficulties: the process required special equipment and long exposure.

In addition to his literary work, Nabokov was a passionate entomologist who devoted years to the study of butterflies and made contributions to lepidopterology. Nabokov not only discovered several new species of butterflies, but also proposed a scientific hypothesis about the migration of butterflies of the genus Polyommatus, which was confirmed decades later by genetic studies. Despite the fact that his theory has long been viewed with distrust by professional biologists, modern scientists have recognized its correctness, which has become a kind of "posthumous" scientific victory of the writer.

Decades later, genetic research confirmed his assumptions, proving that the intuitive writer was right, despite his lack of modern methods of analysis.

Papilio bolina (Ambyna), the butterfly in the picture, is one of the most common butterflies in South and Southeast Asia, known for its variability and mimicry ability. Nabokov, studying this species, paid attention not only to the coloring of the wings, but also to the adaptive features that helped the butterflies survive in the wild. In his entomological career, he described several new species of butterflies, but he never took it as a hobby – he considered himself a real scientist and even noted that if it were not for literature, he could devote his life exclusively to the study of insects.

In addition to his literary work, Nabokov was a passionate entomologist who devoted years to the study of butterflies and made contributions to lepidopterology. Butterflies occupied a special place in Nabokov's life and work. Since childhood, he was fond of collecting them, and in his mature years he worked as a curator of the entomological department of the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology. Nabokov not only described several new species, but also developed a theory of the evolution of pigeons, which gained scientific recognition decades later. His works of art are filled with butterfly motifs, reflecting the themes of fragility, transformation and the transience of beauty. Nabokov's hand-drawn butterfly drawing is a rare and valuable testimony to his passion, harmoniously combining his scientific and literary passion.

  An autographed document by poet Rasul Gamzatov An autographed document by poet Rasul Gamzatov Rasul Gamzatov is an outstanding Soviet and Dagestani poet, author of works in Russian and Avar languages. His work is characterized by a deep understanding and love for his native land and the culture of the people. He is known for his poems, which stand out for the richness of language, depth of thought and attention to the beauty of his native nature. Gamzatov is one of the most influential and revered poets in the history of Dagestan literature and culture. Rasul Gamzatov mentions his most famous poem, "Cranes," in the autographed document. The theme of cranes was inspired by the poet's visit to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and the monument to a Japanese girl named Sadako Sasaki, who suffered from leukemia after the atomic explosion in Hiroshima. Sadako Sasaki hoped that she would be cured if she made a thousand paper "cranes" using the art of origami. In Asia, there is a belief that a person's wish will come true if he folds a thousand origami cranes out of colored paper. Russian Russians also have their own image in Russian culture, which Gamzatov was very familiar with as a translator of Russian classical poetry.

  Personal typewriting to the editorial office of the New World magazine to A. Tvardovsky with an autograph by Alexander Solzhenitsyn Personal typewriting to the editorial office of the New World magazine to A. Tvardovsky with an autograph by Alexander Solzhenitsyn Alexander Solzhenitsyn is a Russian writer, playwright, essayist, poet, public and political figure who lived and worked in the USSR, Switzerland, the USA and Russia. There are several errors in the text of the letter from the Stargift collection: apparently, Solzhenitsyn printed the letter in a hurry so that the novel would not have time to go to print. This exhibit, addressed to Alexander Tvardovsky, editor-in-chief of the Novy Mir magazine, represents a museum-level collectible value. The text of the letter: " To the editorial office of Novy Mir Comrade Tvardovsky A.T. From A Member of the Writers' Union USSR Solzhenitsyn A.S. Dear Alexander Trifonovich, I ask you to return the manuscript of my novel "The Gulag Archipelago" in connection with the circumstances that you know. I hope that the editorial board of the New World magazine will leave my other works for publication. Member of the Union of Writers of the USSR A.I. Solzhenitsyn (Autograph) March 24, 1969" Under the circumstances, Solzhenitsyn means the impending expulsion from the Writers' Union and pressure from the Central Committee of the CPSU. With the filing of Sholokhov, this idea was hatched for 2 years, the exception occurred on November 4, 1969. The authorities were waiting for the announcement of the Nobel laureates, guessing that Solzhenitsyn was one of the nominees. In 1969, Solzhenitsyn was hastily excluded, which in fact brought the Nobel Prize in Literature the following year much closer. After being expelled from the Writers' Union, Solzhenitsyn began openly, without hesitation, to criticize the current government. In January 1974, on the air of Radio Liberty, the reading of the work "Gulag Archipelago" began for half an hour a day. Solzhenitsyn was provided with information for the GULAG Archipelago by 227 people, as indicated in the first editions. The 2007 edition revealed for the first time the list of "witnesses of the Archipelago", whose stories, letters, memoirs and corrections were used in the creation of this book," including 257 names. Some fragments of the text were written by the author's acquaintances (in particular, George Tenno and Vyacheslav Ivanov). According to Ivanov, Solzhenitsyn tried to involve Varlam Shalamov and Yuli Daniel in the work on the GULAG Archipelago, but they failed to reach an agreement. Royalties from the sale of the book were transferred to the Solzhenitsyn Foundation, from where they were subsequently transferred secretly to the USSR to help political prisoners and their families. In the USSR, The Archipelago was fully published only in 1990.
