Abstract: The work concerns the process of perception of the Countess de Segur's creativity in Russia. Despite the fact that "Les Malheurs de Sophie" was read extremely widely in Russia, the works of Sofya Fedorovna were most often ignored by the press and were often absent from the recommendation lists for children's reading. Her works appear in the Index of Books for Children and Popular Reading, published in 1892, but in the index attached to this publication we find instead of Sophia Feodorovna “Count de Seguur” - that is, Louis Philippe de Segur, her husband's grandfather .. More the situation is sadder with the extensive index compiled in 1910 by the children's writer M.R. Lemke. In the introductory article, the author of the reference book claims that he has been studying the problems of children's reading for a long time. All publications included in the index are divided into four age categories: "books for babies" (from 3 to 7 years old), "books for young children" (from 7 to 9 years old), "books for middle age" (from 9 to 12 years old), “Books for older age” (from 12 to 15 years old). Alas, the works of Countess de Segur are not represented in any of these categories.
