 Bukovsky, the keeper of Lermontov Museum in the Saint Petersburg Junkers College, came up with a checked-up, revised version which was later used in Abramovich's "The Complete Lermontov" (1914, 1916) and in the 1939 Academia publication.There has been a lasting controversy as to whether "Sashka" was a finished work or just the first chapter of a larger poem.Originally, nine verses of the unfinished "Chapter 2" were added by Viskovatov to the original text.
