The main source of information about Vladislav Khodasevich’s life is his memoirs, which he published as separate essays on the pages of émigré outlets. The article discusses several cases when biographical information appears in the chronicle of Soviet literature, which the critic published together with Nina Berberova in the newspaper “Vozrozhdenie” (1927 – 1939) under the common pseudonym Gulliver. In addition to documentary evidence of work on the chronicle, as well as the existence of an ideological community of pseudonymous notes and authorized publications, Khodasevich’s authorship can be established when biographical details of the chronicler’s life are interwoven in the notes. Until now, such cases have been considered as supporting material for the attribution of certain chronicle issues. The article highlights notes that are of independent value for studying both Khodasevich’s work and his biography, which allows us to significantly correct the traditional approach to such a material. The most interesting and voluminous examples from the entire corps of “Literary Chronicle” are used for research. The thematic scatter is quite large: from the reception of plans for 1935 on the redevelopment of Moscow streets to references to Khodasevich’s unpublished poetic legacy

Nina Berberova – a representative of the first wave of Russian emigration – is known primarily as the author of the famous autobiography Kursiv moy. Berberova’s prose of the 1920s and 30s is the main topic of this article, in which the author refers to the tradition of Russian literature of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. The urban text created by Nina Berberova is considered in the paper as a hypertext; the author distinguishes the features of this textual formation and provides the exam-ples. This urban text is interpreted not as scattered fragments but as an integrated whole. The researcher tries to identify the interpreting code of a “Parisian text” of the first emigration wave closely associated with the myth which organizes this urban text.
