One of the series of the cycle dedicated to the tragic fate of the intelligentsia of Petrograd (Leningrad). This series is about the trials of the late 1940s and early 1950s against party and state leaders. The victims of repression were all the leaders of the Leningrad regional, city and district organizations of the Communist Party, as well as almost all Soviet and state figures who, after the Second World War, were nominated from Leningrad for leadership work in Moscow and other regional party organizations.
