Abstract
The article publishes and discusses a letter from A.M. Dobroliubov to Vasilii Gippius. In the letter Dobroliubov humorously describes a journey to Finland in 1897–1898. He sees Finland as a country in which everything is in contradiction with sound judgment. The letter parodies the cliché images the Russians have of the Finns, but also shows Dobroliubovʼs interest in Finnish folklore.
