[I. Ehrenburg, E. Zamyatin, V. Rozhdestvensky]
Almost immediately after its publication, the collection was banned. Most likely, the following publications were the reasons:

1. Zamyatin's story "Ten-Minute Drama";
2. N. Antsiferov's article "Crimea in Fiction", which contains references to the works of Bunin, Balmont and other emigrants;
3. Veresaev's novel "At a Dead End";
4. Notes of songs and dances of the Crimean Tatars who were deported in 1944. They were published by the composer A. Glazunov. According to him, these notes, "recorded by an unknown military bandmaster," were given to him in 1887 (Blum, 2003, pp. 216-217)
The collection was prepared and published by the Leningrad Bureau of the Section of Scientific Workers, which set the task of helping the population affected by the earthquake in Crimea in 1927.
It presents a variety of material, supplied with a mass of illustrations: photographs, reproductions of paintings and drawings by Ostroumova-Lebedeva (including the publisher's stamp of her work), N. Roerich, S. Sudeikin, S. Chekhnin, etc.
In good condition. The cover is glued to the owner's binding.
