Libretto in French (p. 51) and Russian (p. 60) from the article by Nicholas Žekulin about Turgenev and Viardot

Turgenev’s scenario has been published, but as ‘Les Bohémiens’. It was André Mazon who, provisionally and as it turns out incorrectly, first used that title for the present operetta: see Mazon, p. 72; Turgenev, Sochineniya, vol. 12, pp. 203-4, 636. More recently Turgenev’s libretto has been published by Nicholas Žekulin, under its correct title: see I.S. Turgenev. Novyye issledovaniya i materialy, vol. III, Moscow and St. Petersburg, 2012, pp. 55-64. See also Paul Viardot, Souvenirs d’un artiste, Paris, 1910, p. 17. Drafts of Turgenev’s libretto and of most musical numbers by Pauline Viardot remain in at least the Harvard collections.
