Abstract
Tyutchev’s poem «Nature is not what you Imagine…» (the autograph has not survived) is known in two drastically different versions. One of them was published in Pushkin’s literary periodical Sovremennik in 1836, the other in Tyutchev’s lifetime collections of poems in 1854 and 1868. How can the coexistence of two very different versions of this poem be explained? What are the differences between them? Which version is the initial one, and which is the result of a later revision? The article offers the answers to these questions.
