Abstract: The phenomenon of congeniality of a writer and his researcher, the extent to which they are right for each other is an important cultural problem since we are talking of who, when and how preserves and interprets cultural heritage. The history of literary studies proves that if a researcher has a creative “lyric nerve” which reacts to what is akin to him in literature — this is the key to a successful result. One can find such a creative “lyric nerve” in Oleg Korostelev’s research on Adamovich. Korostelev did a great job — he collected and published the main body of Adamovich’s works in Russia, i.e., he returned Adamovich to his homeland, introduced his writings into circulation of the contemporary Russian culture and thanks to this alone Korostelev remains in the history of Russian literary criticism, though the scale of his research was immeasurably greater.

Keywords: Russian culture, emigrants of the first wave, the role of personality in preservation of cultural heritage.
