В статье излагаются сведения об эпистолярном наследии первого профессора славянских языков Университета Осло Олафа Брока. Одним из научных интересов Н. А. Кондрашова было изучение истории славистики и деятельности видных учёных начала прошлого века. Именно в то время в России были изданы фундаментальные труды норвежского исследователя, которые до сих пор остаются основополагающими в работах по фонетике славянских языков. Однако по политическим причинам Н. А. Кондрашов не мог упоминать об Олафе Броке, поэтому в его исследованиях по историографии славистики образовалась вынужденная лакуна. Заполнение этого пробела одинаково важно как для изучения истории славистики, так и для развития идей и начинаний, заложенных в трудах Н. А. Кондрашова. ; The article presents facts about the epistolary legacy of Olaf Broch, the first professor of Slavic languages of the University of Oslo. One of the interests of N. Kondrashov was the study of the history of Slavistics and the works of renowned scholars at the beginning of the last century. This was the period when the excellent works of the Norwegian scholar were published in Russia, works that are still fundamental in the study of the phonetics of Slavic languages. However, for political reasons, N. Kondrashov could not mention Olaf Broch, which explains the enforced lacuna his account of the history of Slavic studies. To point out this lacuna is equally essential for the history of Slavic studies as for the correct evaluation of the ideas and initiatives found in the works of N. Kondrashov.

In spring 1926 the Institute for Comparative Research in Human Culture in Norway appointed Fridtjof Nansen as project leader of a scientific expedition to the Kola Peninsula for comparative study of its indigenous population. Nansen himself worked out the plan of the expedition. According to the plan, it was a Norwegian expedition with international participants: Four Norwegians, two Finns, two Russians, one Swede and one American. Under these conditions, the expedition got the financial support of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial. The main difficulty of the project was that the expedition had to take place on the territory of the newly-built Soviet state. In view of this, when appointing Nansen as leader, one was hoping that his authority and friendly relationship with the Soviet government would help to solve foreseeable problems. Nevertheless, despite all efforts, Nansen was refused by the Soviet government, and the expedition was not realised. The present article is based on previously unknown materials found in Russian archives and highlights the way in which the Soviet side dealt with the issue of Nansen's expedition. Several newly found documents have been analysed, including Nansen's letter to Čičerin, the project description made by Nansen and then corrected for the Soviet side, and several Soviet documents classified as secret.

The greater part of this correspondence is deposited in the archive of the Norwegian National Library. There is currently no description of this archive, but according to a preliminary evaluation, the epistolary section of Broch's archive comprises letters from approximately 500 correspondents, of whom approximately 140 wrote in Russian. Correspondence with academician Alexey A. Shakhmatov holds a special place within Broch's correspondence with philologists. Broch was in communication with many Russian linguists, historians, literary scholars, writers and poets, as well as with diplomats and politicians: there are letters written to him by S. V. Arsen'ev, V. A. Bereznikov, K. N. Gulkevch, A. M. Kollontay and A. V. Lunacharskiy. Of special significance is his correspondence with Ukrainian scholars and politicians, through which a previously unknown Ukrainian chapter in the biography of Norwegian Slavist has been discovered. In addition to the epistolary legacy, many other materials have been discovered in Broch's archive, including a manuscript containing previously unknown memoirs by E. A. Masal'skaja-Surina and poems-in-prose by S. Šil'.
