The article clarifies the autobiographical evidence of Nikolai N. Strakhov, a Russian thinker of versatile scientific and philosophical bent, who did not leave behind extensive memoirs, but definitely identified himself in long-term correspondence with his contemporaries. The article is the first to introduce into scientific circulation the correspondence of N.N. Strakhov and Anna Grigorievna Dostoevskaya with some materials to a holistic understanding of the experience of intellectual and existential communication of Russian thinkers in the specific and general context of the "archive of the epoch".
