Dear Professor Pylypiuk,

I have recently come across two books which discuss the concept of
"otechestvo" in the eighteenth century in terms of intellectual resistance
to Catherine II.
1. *The Political and Legal Writings of Denis Fonvizin*, Walter Gleason,
trans., (Ann Arbor: Ardis Publishers, 1985). The introduction discusses the
idea in an interesting way.
2. Г.П Макогоненко, *Денис Фонвизин Творческый Путь*, (Москва, Ленинград:
Государственное Издательство Художественной Литературы, 1961). The brief
discussion of Nikolai Novikov's view of "otechestvo" on p. 298 is relevant
and interesting.

Best regards,
