Returning after a year-long trip to Europe, Nikolai Mikhailovich Karamzin established the "Moscow Journal", in which, starting from the first issue and during the two years of its existence in 1791-1792, he published, among other things, "Letters of a Russian Traveler" - his extremely elegant in form and at the same time monumental in concept, a work of epistolary genre, which was destined to become one of the most significant phenomena of Russian literary sentimentalism. The history of "Letters..." continued even after the history of the "Moscow Journal" was completed: Karamzin continued to work on them in the following years. The first complete edition of "Letters...", due to the close attention of censors to the fragments devoted to the French Revolution, became possible after the death of Paul I in 1801.... With the passage of time, in addition to the undeniable literary merits of "Letters..." more and more clearly unique historical value of the image of Europe captured by Karamzin, seen through the eyes of a traveler from Russia, as well as reflected in it the image of this enlightened Russian traveler of the eighteenth century.
