"The Bronnikov Case" is an investigation book. It was compiled from a five-volume case file from 1932. Among the accused were translator M. L. Lozinsky, linguist N. N. Shulgovsky, film scholar N. N. Efimov, and artist V. A. Vlasov. But the names of others today mean nothing to anyone. Their works, articles, poems, notes, letters, even addresses—everything is gone. And these people were very talented: A. V. Rejsler, P. P. Azbelev, A. A. Kryukov, M. N. Remezov, M. D. Bronnikov… — Leningrad writers and scholars of the arts.
The authors gathered information piece by piece from official and private archives and tried to see the living people behind the materials of this long-forgotten case.
