"Political Trials in Russia in the 18th Century" is a previously unpublished monograph by Nikolai Yakovlevich Novombergsky (1871–1949), a leading Russian scholar—historian, economist, public figure, and political activist. Having risen from professor at Imperial Tomsk University and minister in Kolchak's government to exile and professor at the Soviet Arkhangelsk Pedagogical Institute, Novombergsky is one of the most prominent figures in Russian historical scholarship. His works on the history of political investigation and Russian medicine in the 17th and 18th centuries brought him the greatest recognition. His two-volume collection of materials, "The Tsar's Word and Deed" (1909, 1911), became one of the sources from which A.N. Tolstoy borrowed the style for his novel "Peter the Great."
Written in 1938, "Political Trials in Russia in the 18th Century" summarized the author's decades of research in this field. The importance of this publication is determined by the extraordinary wealth of factual material extracted by the scholar from the archival files of 18th-century political investigation, as well as the fact that Novombergsky's manuscript, prepared in the late 1930s, is a remarkable monument to the historical thought of that era. The publication includes an article dedicated to the author, notes, and an annotated index, prepared for publication in the "Monuments of Historical Thought" series by E. V. Anisimov, Doctor of Historical Sciences and leading expert on 18th-century Russian history.
