The name of the journal is not from Lef's “literature of fact”, but from the article “Literary Fact” by Yuri Tynyanov, in which he wrote:

“Definitions of literature, operating with its ‘main’ features, run into a living literary fact. While to give a firm definition of literature is becoming more and more difficult, any contemporary will point his finger at what a literary fact is. He will say that one thing does not belong to literature, representing a fact of poet's everyday or personal life, but the other thing, on the contrary, is precisely a literary fact.”

  • Abstract:

    The discussion is devoted to the problems of A.S. Griboyedov’s biography, actualized by a new chronicle of his life and work. Particular attention is attracted by the problem of the writer’s birth year and his social status (legal birth / illegitimacy), as well as Griboyedov’s psychological state resulting from it. The authors raise questions of genre nature and structure of a chronicle, which gives the discussion a universally significant character.
  • Keywords: A.S. Griboedov, biography, chronicle of life and work, illegitimate children in the 19th century.
