A fascinating association copy from the massive Soviet historical-biographical series "Fiery Revolutionaries" (Plamennye revolyutsionery). This specific volume, written by Aleksandr Rusov, chronicles the life of Bogdan Knunyants (1878-1911), a prominent figure in the revolutionary movement in the Caucasus. While books from this mass-market series are generally common, this exact first edition represents a unique literary artifact. It bears a warm, personal inscription from the author to Givi Gegechkori (1933-2000), one of Georgia's most beloved twentieth-century lyric poets and translators, reminiscing about their meetings in Pitsunda (a famous Soviet writers' resort in Abkhazia). The provenance is absolutely cemented by the inclusion of a remarkable piece of ephemera: the original 1980 postal slip, handwritten by Rusov, detailing the exact mailing of this book from Moscow to Gegechkori's apartment in Tbilisi. Well-preserved association copies linking Moscow writers with major figures of the Georgian literary intelligentsia are highly prized. The inclusion of the original mailing documentation makes this an exceptional acquisition for collectors of Soviet writers' memorabilia and verified association copies.
