The book “Name index” contains fascinating archival investigations, personal memories, and recordings of conversations. Natalia Gromova finds out who the Chekist is in Marina Tsvetaeva’s essay “The House at the Old Pimen” and where the Dobrovykh house was located, in which Daniil Andreyev lived before his arrest; talks about the playwright Alexander Volodin, about the mysterious Italian journalist Malaparte and his acquaintance with Mikhail Bulgakov; recalls how in the “Soviet Encyclopedia” a unique dictionary of Russian writers of the XIX – early XX century was created, “not allowed circularly, but not completely prohibited.”

“It happens that a book is taken in hand only for one name. Suddenly, the link reveals a connection between characters who should not have met in life or in the book, but suddenly crossed paths. The name sign is like a map of the starry sky, where crosses of fates appear.” Natalia Gromova
