Summary/Abstract: In 1887, Zavadzkis' publishing house in vilnius was setting up to publish a Lithuanian brochure in Cyrillic letters. It contained two parts: 1) Ivan Pososhkov's testament to soldiers ("Fatherly Testament to a Russian Soldier [From the Testament of a Peasant, Jonas Posoškovas]"; p. 1-5) and 2) ("Holiday Calendar for a Whole Year"; p. 6-8). On September 10, 1887 it received the approval of Vilnius censor, Petr levitskii. Such a publication, however, is not known now. Perhaps it was never actually published. We are aware of it from the typographic prints intended for the proof that I have discovered in the Russian State Historical Archive in Saint Petersburg (^. 1284, on. 190, g. 83d, a. 111r-114v).
