The biographical literature on Sofya Vasilyevna Kovalevskaya has to a large extent relied on her own memoirs, published in Vestnik Evropy only months before her death, and an autobiographical story published posthumously in Russkaya Starina. In this paper we present and discuss the full Russian text with English translation of a letter, previously unpublished, from Kovalevskaya's teacher in childhood and adolescence, Iosif Ignatyevich Malevich, to the editor of Russkaya Starina, Mikhail Ivanovich Semevsky, in which he repudiates her depreciation of his role in her schooling, criticizes her self-portrayal, and provides information about her early education which runs counter to parts of the biographical literature on Kovalevskaya.

马列维奇给谢梅夫斯基的一封关于科瓦列夫斯卡娅的信
Sofya Vasilyevna Kovalevskaya 的传记文学在很大程度上依赖于她自己的回忆录,该回忆录在她去世前几个月发表在Vestnik Evropy ,以及死后在Russkaya Starina上发表的自传故事。在这篇论文中,我们展示并讨论了一封以前未发表的俄文全文和一封信的英文翻译,该信来自 Kovalevskaya 童年和青春期的老师 Iosif Ignatyevich Malevich 给Russkaya Starina的编辑Mikhail Ivanovich Semevsky,他在信中否认了她的贬低他在她的教育中扮演的角色,批评了她的自我描述,并提供了有关她早期教育的信息,这与 Kovalevskaya 的传记文学的部分内容背道而驰。
