Abstract: The article focuses on personal contacts of Václav Hanka with Russian scholars, who visited Prague at the turn of 1830s-1840s with the target to study Slavic languages and literatures there. Among them there were e.g. Slavist Michail Ivanovič Kastorskij (1809-1866), lawyer and historian Nikolaj Dmitrijevič Ivanišev (1811-1874) as well as an expert on West Slavs - Izmail Ivanovič Sreznevskij (1812-1880). Václav Hanka himself taught them the Czech language. But their contacts were even broader, they exchanged books and other publications, the Czech scholar published information about Russian Slavists (often based on his private correspondence) in Czech journals. V. Hanka also played a very important role as an intermediary of research contacts between the first Russian Slavists and Czech scholarly milieu. |
