Résumé anglais Edward Kasinec, A friendship destroyed : the hitherto unpublished correspondence (1917-1921) of the academicians Rozhdestvenskie with the expatriate, A.V. Got 'stein. The seven letters published in this communication, dating from the period 1917-1921, were sent from Ol'ga Antonovna Dobiash-Rozhdestvenskaia (d. 1939) and her husband, Dmitrii Sergeevich (d. 1940) to Aleksandra Vasil'evna Gol'stein (d. 1937), a Russian expatriate living in France. Although the Rozhdestvenskie had lived in Western Europe for extensive periods of time, these letters from the extensive Gol'stein papers held at the Bakhmeteff archives (Columbia University, New York) date from the period when both held academic positions in Petrograd. They shed important light on specific points in the biographies and careers of both scholars, as well as giving us insight into the process whereby they gradually accommodated to the new political and social order. Their acceptance of the Soviet regime was evidently the decisive factor in the rupture of their relationship with Gol'stein, still a little-studied though important catalyst in Russo-French cultural relations of the early twentieth century.
