Abstract

The article is devoted to the origin of the Odessa myth. Odessa is compared to little Paris and Italy. Sometimes it is called South Palmyra. The city is known far beyond the borders of Ukraine. Is Odessa really a beautiful Palmyra? The origin of the “Odessa myth” coincides with the foundation of the city and distills the city itself in the speed of development. The rumor about the city is spread in Chumak songs, which speak of how to live freely in the city or the foundation upon which Odessa could be a liberal city. One of the most striking literary images of Odessa was created by A.S. Pushkin, but by no means is it the only one. The article provides unpublished or inaccessible texts of the first half of the XIX century about Odessa. In the memoirs of travelers the “otherness” and “features” of Odessa are noted. At the same time, they describe completely ordinary things, such as citizens, places, and the dust in the streets. Fragments of rare texts by I. Dolgoruky, K. Batyushkov, N. Chizhov, M. Rosberg, E. Gan-Fadeev, O. Chizhevich, A. Deribas are given.
