Kulakovsky’s autographs: an analysis of the manuscripts of "To the Yakut Intelligentsia"
Abstract
The article describes the creative history of Alexei Kulakovsky’s work "To the Yakut Intelligentsia" (1912) basing on the study of the author’s manuscripts. It reviews the history of discovering the author’s manuscripts, their studying and publishing. The topics raised in the article are analyzed in contrast with the author’s poetic piece “The Shaman’s Dream” (1910) and the work by Vasily Troshchansky "Sketches on the Yakuts of the Yakutsk District" (1911). Considerable attention was paid to previously unexplored textual aspects of the Kulakovsky’s autographs; discrepancies in the variants were identified; the archival history of the main text was reviewed; the results of a handwriting analysis were presented. An analysis of the manuscripts published over the past decades was conducted, revealing elements of editing, cases of specifying certain fragments of the text. Methodologically, the research was based on the works of Dmitry Likhachev; Andrei Grishunin; recent materials in the collective editions of the Institute of World Literature, RAS; a monograph by Lyudmila Kulakovskaya about the Kulakovsky’s scholarly biography; and the sources of his artistic and scholarly heritage. The main results of the research were establishing the chronology of the autographs and determining their significance for studying the life and creative activity of the Yakut poet and thinker. The creative history of this work confirms the importance of the author's principle in the systematization of analytical observations and in the choice of the form of address to his contemporaries, corresponding to the pragmatic orientation of the content. Rather than criticism, the fragments on the Government in the Kulakovsky’s autographs demonstrate his wish to prevent negative interpretations of his solutions regarding a northbound migration. The writer’s manuscripts signal his friendly attitude towards the people with advanced opinions on relevant social issues.
