A profile is outlined of Alexander P. Tolstoy, by far, a not-quite-clearly-identified acquaintance of Adam Mickiewicz, to whom he wrote a letter in 1845. The background is A. P. Tolstoy's and the Polish poet's relations with the European milieu of Russian writers of the time (M. Gogol, A.I. Turgenev, V. Zhukovsky).
