Abstract.  'Poludennitsa (Kuny)' is an incomplete text which Zamiatin offered for the approval of the military censors at some point between 1914 and 1916. The manuscript, made available to the editors of Neimanis by Natal´ia Borisovna Sollogub, and published for the first time in 1988, consists of some twenty pages, along with two alternative introductions.
