Other correspondents include: Konstantin Balḿont; Aleksandr Benois; Ivan Bunin; Vladislav Khodasevich, Aleksandr Kuprin; Pavel Mili︠u︡kov; Sergeĭ Rakhmaninov; Nikkolaĭ Roerich; and Ivan Shmelev. There are one or two letters each from Marc Chagall, Mikhail Fokin, Knut Hamsun (copy), Rudyard Kipling (copy), Vladimir Nabokov, Leonid Pasternak, Sergeĭ Kusevit︠s︡kiĭ, Dmitriĭ Merezhkovskiĭ, and Fedor Shali︠a︡pin.
