Books by aestheticians A.I. Burov and Yu.B. Borev in M.M. Bakhtin's personal library

The personal library of M.M. Bakhtin makes it possible to form a more complete picture not only of his scientific and artistic interests, of him as a reader, but also of the personalities and fates of the authors, whose books are in his library (with their inscriptions and/or Bakhtin's proprietary inscriptions). The thinker's library is a practical proof that “... in a great time, nothing never loses its meaning”. In particular, the Bakhtin's library opens up new perspectives in the study of the scientific heritage of A.I. Burov and Yu.B. Borev, whose works are discussed in this article.
