Gaudin algebras form a family of maximal commutative subalgebras in the
tensor product of n copies of the universal enveloping algebra U(\g) of a
semisimple Lie algebra \g. This family is parameterized by collections of
pairwise distinct complex numbers z1,...,zn. We obtain some new commutative
subalgebras in U(\g)^{\otimes n} as limit cases of Gaudin subalgebras. These
commutative subalgebras turn to be related to the hamiltonians of bending flows
and to the Gelfand--Tsetlin bases. We use this to prove the simplicity of
spectrum in the Gaudin model for some new cases.Comment: 11 pages, references adde
