On the Internet, a text attributed to the famous poetess was widely dispersed in which she allegedly talks about her love for the last summer month. We checked whether such an attribution is correct.

A completely excerpt sounds like this: “They say that August smells in the fall. Don't know. Maybe ... but I love this last hello in the summer. This is my month. And the apples are ripe, and the sunflower is still in the fields, and the honey arrived, and the dahlias bloom with might and main ... And the warm rays of the sun are affectionately and easily hug multi -colored asters, and the star shower illuminates the dark sky, and watermelons are taken from Bakhchi. And the bells call in the temples, honoring the Savior and the Assumption of the Virgin. And let autumn inevitably approach, but August is still summer ... Hello, August! ”

This text can be found in social networks (Telegram, Facebook, "VKontakte" Tiktok), on the blog-platforms (Livejournal), on Library sites And in the Russian regional press.

The most complete works of Marina Tsvetaeva are considered Semeterikreleased by Ellis Laca in the 1990s. As the archives of the poetess opened, the publishing house published two more volumes of her notebooks. In addition, several collections of Tsvetaeva’s letters are available - her correspondence with her husband Sergey Efron, writer Boris Pasternak And the poet Nikolai Gronsky. None of these books have been “verified” to find a viral text about August.

The attached Tsvetaeva story about love for August began to spread on the Internet in the second half of the 2010s. In one of the early publications, from August 1, 2017, "Verified" discovered another attribution. On this day, the text about August was published on website of the Russian language and literature department Donetsk Republican Institute of Additional Pedagogical Education on the Blogspot platform. At the end of the text, the source was indicated: Irina Martova, “My Momns”. But as an epigraph, the author of the post used a quote from poems Marina Tsvetaeva: "August - a month of the stroke of starry." Probably, because of this, confusion arose: someone decided to copy the text and accepted the signature to the epigraph for the name of the author of the entire passage.

To make sure the attribution of attribution, we found the text of Martovo called “My Momens”. It is included in two collections of a modern writer: ""Such different people" And "A fleeting miracle". However, in none of them there are no passages about August through social networks.

“Verified” turned to the commentary to Martova herself. "These are lines from my novel"Shine, love and forgive ...“” The writer answered. “They were written for a long time, were printed on Facebook (in my opinion, in 2015) and immediately reprinted by so many.” In the Martova profile in this social network, the passage was indeed a passage published August 1, 2015.
