in memoriam Evgenii Borisovich Pasternak 1923 - 2012

[Karen Evans-Romaine]

Dear colleagues,

I am sad to report that Boris Pasternak's son, biographer, and interpreter, Evgenii Borisovich Pasternak, died yesterday in Moscow. Evgenii Borisovich and Elena Vladimirovna Pasternak made invaluable contributions to Pasternak studies -- especially the 11-volume collected works (Moscow: Slovo, 2003-2005) and preceding editions, as well as numerous biographical works -- and were tremendously supportive of fellow Pasternak scholars. The study of Pasternak's life and oeuvre would be unimaginably different without their meticulous work and generous spirit. He is survived by Elena Vladimirovna and three children.
