The paper examines the history of the earliest publications of Ivan Bunin’s fiction in magazines and newspapers of 1887–1902 and delves into the origins of the young writer’s work. Ivan Bunin’s debut as a prose writer took place in 1887 in the illustrated magazine “Rodina”, where the first poems and stories of the young writer appeared. Not all the stories sent to the editorial offices of magazines were accepted for publication, some of them Bunin had to offer several times to different magazines, sometimes they appeared for the first time only in collections of works made by Bunin himself. The paper also presents statistics of texts of early stories by Bunin, some of which were published only once in newspapers or magazines, while others were published two or three times, but also only in periodicals. However, most of the stories were included by Bunin in his collections and collected works. It is noted that from the period in question no autographs of published stories exist, while autographs of those works that the novice writer did not publish have been preserved. The paper examines critical responses to the novice writer’s publications of his early stories in the periodicals. It is noted that Bunin’s early stories were mostly published in popular magazines or in periodicals for children, but during these years the stories of the young writer have already begun to appear in the metropolitan “thick” magazines.

Keywords: Ivan Bunin, fiction, textual criticism, Russian periodicals of 1887–1902.
