Unpublished letter N.M. Karamzin tо E.A. Protasova (born Bunina)

Currently, with the financial support of the RFBR, the project "Karamzin and his entourage" is being implemented for the first time - a consolidated collection of personal information about contemporaries with whom N.M. Karamzin communicated throughout his life. The creation of such a reference book is necessary to restore the real picture of N.M. Karamzin, to compile the chronicle of his life and work. The richest source of the necessary data is the epistolary N.M. Karamzin, which makes it possible to expand, clarify, and detail also information about those who directly communicated with the historiographer or corresponded with him. Many of the letters from Karamzin have not yet been published. The lines from the letter of N.M. Karamzin is an addition to the love story of V.A. Zhukovsky to Maria Andreevna Protasova.
