F. N. Muravieva — Theona : Reality and a Sentimentalist Literary Myth The article focuses on the figure of Fedos'ja Nikitična Murav'eva (1760?-1792), sister of the Russian Sentimentalist writer Mixail Murav'ev, to whom he wrote numerous letters and dedicated several literary works (addressing her as Theona). After characterizing her cultural profile on the basis of many unpublished documents, it shows how the epistolary dialogue with her influenced Murav'ev's stylistic and literary choices. It sets the problem of the psychological and culturological meaning of the brother-sister relationship and of its turning into a fact of literary significance, and makes some hypotheses about the choice of the literary name of Theona, that allows to enrich the picture of the 'feminization' of Russian literature brought about by Sentimentalism.

Toporov leads the Author to stress the link between Russian sentimentalism and not only the ideology, but also the minor narrative forms, of the French Illuminism (Fénelon, Buffon).

The paper is dedicated to the relationships of Karamzin, with the writer and statesman M.N. Murav'ev (1757-1807). The prevailing opinion has long been that the eldest, Murav'ev, was a kind of patron of the younger, while the hypothesis has recently been advanced that in the 1790s, when he returned to literature, he imitated the already famous Karamzin. After having highlighted the elements that unite the two authors (influence of Freemasonry, interest in Rococo culture, "obsession" with history) on the basis of unpublished or forgotten sources, the concrete episodes in which now one, now the other could influence the colleague are reconstructed.

In the article the story numerous redactions, written over forty years are compared, revealing its hidden addressee and, possibly, an unexpected reading key.
