Dear Yevgeny,
The book was translated into Russian and published in 1968 (as part of
Literaturnye pamiatniki project; I think that prior to this there must
have been some references to him in Vladimir Odoevsky's writings: do
check Neil Cornwell's book on Odoevsky, but I'm sure that either in
his book on Odoevsky or in some articles Neil wrote on Ian Pototskii
and Odoevsky). It was not easy to get hold of many books related to
the Literaturnye pamiatniki series but it was not impossible, of
course. I would imagine that Bitov might have read it. I will ask
someone who is writing a PhD thesis on him in St Petersburg and knows
Bitov well.
All best,
Alexandra
