Which manuscripts of Dostoevsky were in “piper-verlag”

Following Ornatskaya T. I., Bograd G. L., Tikhomirov B. N. the author of this article makes a new hypothesis about a possible location of the final draft of the last novel of F. M. Dostoevsky “The Brothers Karamazov” lost during the Russian civil war. A key figure of this theory is an Austro-American writer and journalist Rene Fulop-Miller who visited Soviet Russia in 1923-1924 in search of Dostoevsky’s manuscripts. The best part of the materials he brought in Western Europe was published soon in an eight-part series “Der Dostojewskis-Nachlaß” released by Munich publishing house “Piper” in the German language in the years 1925-1931. Fulop-Miller might have taken out some unknown, unpublished materials he kept first from Vienna to Paris in 1935, and then to the USA in 1939. As Fulop-Miller declared it, among other papers concerning Dostoevsky he had acquired in Russia, there was a parcel stolen in Georgia and consigned to him by a Moscow horse-cab driver supposedly. As far as it is known that the final draft of the novel “The Brothers Karamazov” had been lost in the Caucasus there is a hope it was it which the Austrian traveler obtained. To verify this version archival researches should be conducted on the territory of the USA and other countries. Our foreign colleagues from the International Dostoevsky Society could be of great aide in it.
