The Slavic World in A.V. Suvorov's Letters

This paper focuses on the depiction of the Slavic world of the second half of 18th century in the letters by Russian general A.V. Suvorov. Suvorov achieved a high status in Russian history due to his military deeds and activities, in particular his participation in the military campaigns in Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Kuban and Crimea, including the riot suppression in Poland and convoying Pugachev. He was also famous for remarkable knowledge of mathematics, philosophy, history, German, French, Italian, Polish and Turkish. As Suvorov was a thoughtful witness (and direct participant) of many events in the history of Slavic states, the authors assumed that Suvorov's letters might contain both Slavic culture-specific elements and his introspection on them, which can enhance our knowledge about the Slavic world in the 18th century. The analysis of Suvorov's letters has shown that the Slavic world is represented in them by means of: 1) address to the topics of military campaigns and military service in general, Suvorov's communication with people of different Slavic nationalities; 2) active use of Slavic geographical realities (cities, villages, rivers as well as local topography and weather) and their description; 3) appeal to Russian, Polish and other Slavic addressees; 4) indications of the numerous Slavic personalities (both individuals and nations), their comparison and evaluation in personal, social and universal (rarely national) contexts. Suvorov's epistolary also reflects the influence of Polish on the Russian language, which is manifested in the use of borrowed Polish units.
