1931 fire at Izd. ANSSSR

[Joe Peschio]

Many thanks, Vadim and Alexandra!

Yes, Shal'man's account in Philologica 3 is precisely the story I'm 
trying to corroborate.  If there really was a fire, which seems very 
unlikely for a number of reasons, perhaps there's record of it 
somewhere.  I've of course talked with Igor' about it: Shal'man's story 
(supposedly, from Tsiavlovskaia) is all we've got on the fire.  
Ultimately, I suppose it's not that important a detail, but I'm dying to 
know! 

I should fix an embarrassing typo in my initial query: The fire would 
have been in 1937, not 1931.  If anyone has any suggestions where I 
might look for corroboration, I'd be most grateful! 

BTW, for an updated version of this story with more archival materials, 
see: I. Pil'shchikov and M. Shapir (ed.), /Ten' Barkova. Teksty. 
Kommentarii. Ekskursy/.  (Moscow: Iazyki slavianskoi kul'tury, 2002): 
158-59.

Cheers,
Joe Peschio
