Alexander Ilyich Klibanov (1910-1994) was a historian and religious scholar, author of fundamental studies on Russian heresies and sectarianism. In 1936, following his supervisor ethnographer M. N. Matorin, A. I. Klibanov received a five-year sentence as a member of the counter-revolutionary Trotskyist-Zinoviev organization, and in 1948 he was re-arrested in the same case and sentenced to ten years. This book contains correspondence between A. I. Klibanov and his wife, Natalia Vladimirovna Yeltsina, from 1932 to 1954, but most of the letters are from the second camp period. In the 1980s, on the wave of perestroika revival and disputes about the Soviet legacy, Aleksandr Ilyich Klibanov began preparing these letters and commentaries for publication, but did not complete the work in time. Now, thirty years after his death, the book conceived by the scholar is being published. The two introductory articles are written by philosopher and religious scholar, professor at PSTSU K. M. Antonov and historian and Slavist, professor at Moscow State University and Moscow State University Higher School of Economics M. V. Dmitriev.
