To the history of a Turgenev preface (An unknown letter by Charles Edmond to I. S. Turgenev)

The article examines an episode that has to do with Turgenev’s involvement in the publication of I. Ya. Pavlovsky’s autobiographical work En Cellule (Impressions of a Nihilist), published in translation, in three installments, by the French newspaper Le Temps in 1879. The letter of Charles Edmond (Chojecki) that was previously misattributed, makes it clear that, apart from writing the preface and afterword to Pavlovsky’s work, Turgenev was involved in editing it.
