Встреча в отряде с московским знакомым. Из Кавказских записок князя Нехлюдова [в] Библиотекe для чтения [№12, декабрь].

A complete copy of the Biblioteka dlia Chteniya December issue featuring the first appearance in print of the Tolstoy's story about degraded soldiers that he personally met during his trip to Caucasus. The work was originally called 'Из Кавказских воспоминаний. Разжалованный' ['From the Caucasus Memories. The Degraded'], but it didn't pass censorship and as a result, the story was published in the 'Library for Reading' magazine under the current title.

Biblioteka dlia Chteniya [Library for Reading] was a Russian monthly periodical published in Saint Petersburg between 1834 and 1865.
