V.M. Nedoshivin (1945) is a writer, literary critic, documentary filmmaker, and a candidate of philosophical sciences (1985). He is a screenwriter of films about Davydov, Tyutchev, Kuprin, Grien, Tsvetaeva, and Tvardovsky. He is the recipient of the 'Golden Pen' award for the 60-episode TV series 'Unnamed Houses. St. Petersburg of the Silver Age' (2003) and the Media Union of Russia diploma for the 40-episode series 'Unnamed Houses. Moscow of the Silver Age' (2008). He is also the recipient of the Moscow SP 'Wreath' award for the book on George Orwell 'Inaccessible Soul' (2020). Additionally, he is the author of books such as 'Strolls through the Silver Age. Very Personal Stories from the Lives of St. Petersburg Buildings' (2010), 'Addresses of Love. Homes and Inhabitants of Russian Literature...' (2014), and 'Literary Moscow. Homes and Destinies, Events and Secrets...' (2021).
V.M. Nedoshivin's new work, which you are holding in your hands, is 'Atlas. Literary Moscow. Home Book of Russian Literature XVIII-XXI centuries' (Vol. II) - it is not only a thematic continuation of the first volume but also, without exaggeration, a unique work in the history of Russian literature. For the first time in the world, it attempts to gather under one cover more than 8,000 Moscow addresses: from Archpriest Avvakum, Kantemir, and Fonvizin to Tsvetaeva, Solzhenitsyn, and Brodsky. There are 20 addresses of Pushkin, 19 of Chekhov, 14 of Bunin, 24 of Yesenin, 26 of the 'eternally homeless' in Moscow, Akhmatova, and thousands and thousands of names of poets, prose writers, literary critics, bibliophiles, and admirers of the Russian word. This book - the culmination of the author's life! - was not written by pages or even paragraphs but by lines with house numbers and street names. It is based on mentions in memoirs, footnotes, comments on letters, lists in house books and directories, encyclopedias, and urban literature. In addition to the preserved or lost houses of old Moscow, it documents not only the addresses of famous salons, literary circles, home gatherings on 'Tuesdays,' 'Thursdays,' and 'Fridays,' but also the names of those who occasionally visited them. The second volume of V.M. Nedoshivin's two-volume atlas is intended for literature enthusiasts and specialists alike. It is thought to be a reason for discoveries in literary science: in its toponymy, the emergence of literary movements, creative alliances, the prototypes of literary characters, and finally - in the study of the influence of newspapers and magazines, whose addresses are also provided. And perhaps - the main hope of the author! - this book will not only preserve the 'stone chronicle' of Moscow from destruction and disappearance but also help us adorn the still 'unnamed' houses with memorial plaques.
