Abstract
The article deals with an understudied period in the history of Pushkin scholarship. The publication of the first two volumes of the six-volume collection of Pushkin’s works in 1930 marked the beginning of a violent controversy concerning the composition of Pushkin’s editions. Championing the chronological principle, M. A. Tsyavlovsky strived for completeness of the corpus of Pushkin’s texts, while B. V. Tomashevsky was a proponent of a calculated architectonics of Pushkin’s editions, which implied an approximation to Pushkin’s own idea of his collected works. This «composition dispute» reemerged at the 1933 Pushkinists Conference. The article is based on archival sources. The author focuses primarily on the position of B. V. Tomashevsky who had failed to gain any support from the conference participants.
