Peter Ulovich, priest from Polesye and F. M. Dostoevsky's correspondent (with the published letter and commentaries on it)

This publication for the first time manages to determine exact spelling of the name of one of the correspondents of the newspaper-magazine “Grazhdanin” under the editorship of Dostoevsky, in 1873. The surname of the correspondent was repeatedly written in a wrong manner in previous scientific sources. Data on him that displayed Dostoevsky's acquaintances and contacts was not included into the reference works of that time. Correction of the spelling mistake made it possible to collect some biographical facts about Peter Filimonovich Ulovich, Polesye priest born in the village of Pogorelovka of Volyn province (formerly mentioned as Ukhovich), about his family, some circumstances of his activity as an enlightener and a devotee of his work. The publication discloses information about documents that contain data on Peter Ulovich, reproduces the text of the letter and suggests a historical and literary commentary on it.
