The article is devoted to the analysis of three autobiographies written by I.А. Bunin to order in 1921, 1934 and 1952 and prefaced his collections of stories and collected works published abroad. In these texts Bunin describes himself as an anti- revolutionary émigré and a recognized writer who is actively published in emigration. However, he rethinks these elements depending on time and addressees, giving
his personality a different color.
