The first biography of Frantisk Malevsky

Literatūra

«Бегал тут когда-то Адась, но уехал с родителями, и всякий слух о нем пропал»,отвечала некогда жительница Новогрудка на расспросы о Мицкевиче. Анекдот этот вспомнился журналисту лодзинской газеты «Русский голос» в связи с примадонной виленского музыкального театра «Лютня», которую в Польше считали безвестно пропавшей, а между тем, уехав в 1940 г. вглубь России, она стала в свое время довольно популярной артисткой советской эстрады Ниной Кульчицкой 1. Анекдот всплывает в памяти при чтении новой книги белорусского ученого Александра Федуты, тем более, что ее герой-друг того самого Адася и член тайных студенческих обществ в Виленском университете: они вместе были отправлены в ссылку, а потом женились на сестрах, а позже дочь Франтишка Малевского вышла замуж за сына Мицкевича. Жизнь Малевского до начала 1830-х годов довольно детально описывалась, но с отъездом Мицкевича из России подробности расплываются и затуманиваются, а во второй половине жизни бывшего филомата едва ли не «всякий слух о нем пропал». Книга последовательно, шаг за шагом, описывает жизнь Малевского по архивным документам, опубликованным и неопубликованным дневникам, письмам, воспоминаниям, публикациям современной польской и русской печати, с привлечением трудов белорусских, литовских, польских, российских историков, а также работ Валентины Брио (Израиль) и Ричарда Уортмана (США). Детали биографии и учебы Малевского, данные о служебной деятельности его отца в Виленском университете, исповедальные показания по делу филоматов и другие сопутствующие процессу 1823-1824 гг. записки, письма, прошения извлечены из документов Литовского государственного исторического архива; сведения о перемещениях ссыльных участников тайных обществ обнаружены в Центральном государственном архиве г. Москвы. Служебные документы Малевского отысканы в Российском государственном исто
