All the business portion of the proposed book is based on authentic documents, for the most part still unpublished, collected by the established Extraordinary Commission of the Provisional Government for the investigation of unlawful actions in office committed by former ministers. The book, in a somewhat abridged form (the reader will find here seven new documents), was printed in the journal “Byloye” No. 15 (marked 1919, published in 1921) under the title “The Last Days of the Old Regime.”
