T. I. Filippov as a writer of the periodical “Grazhdanin” in 1873-1874: based on archival materials

The article introduces archival materials that cover the question of collaboration of an outstanding publicist, Slavophil and statesman T. I. Filippov (1826-1899) with the daily “Grazhdanin” edited by V. P. Meshchersky and F. M. Dostoevsky. It also brings light upon the issue of T. I. Filippov’s letters addressed to historian M. P. Pogodin dated back to 1873-1874 and on the texts of some manuscripts presented by Filippov for the review of the Journal editorial board. One of the research aspects is dedicated to the problem of an anonymous participation of T. I. Filippov as a publicist in “Grazhdanin”; more specifically, the attribution of the economic review “About State Budget» to Filippov is supported (“Grazhdanin” 1873. №1, no signature). Thanks to the discovered manuscripts (light verses and a satirical sketch), the fact of collaboration of the writer in 1873-1874 with “Grazhdanin” in the column named “Last page” becomes evident.
