Abstract. The extensive autodocumentary legacy of the statesman and public figure of the late 19th – early 20th centuries, Vladimir Mikhailovich Golitsyn, has not yet been fully introduced into scholarly circulation. His diary, which covers more than 50 years of Russian history and is kept in the Manuscripts Department of the Russian State Library, is still waiting for its researcher and publisher. In addition, there are also unstudied and completely unpublished memoirs that Golitsyn wrote after his resignation, based on his diary entries. This article publishes a fragment from his “Memoirs” about the author’s acquaintance with Stepan Petrovich Shevyryov, a professor of philology at Moscow University.
Key words: history of the 19th century, the Golitsyns, Shevyryov, historical sources, documents of personal origin, memoirs.
