In Berlin, there was a plan to publish a 9-volume edition of the poet's works, but only volumes 1-5, 7, and 9 were published (a total of 7 volumes). In some editions, volume 9 was numbered as 6. The first complete collected works of Alexander Blok (1880-1921), published posthumously. Bibliography: Turchinsky. P. 80.
