Historical collections produced in the USSR in samizdat in 1976-1981 (issues 1-5). The initiator and editor-in-chief of the publication was the Leningrad historian and philologist Arseny Roginsky. The editorial board of the collections (its composition was not announced) included young Moscow and Leningrad researchers (teachers, scientists) who were not associated with official historical science (Alexander Daniel, Alexander Dobkin, Sergey Dedyulin, Dmitry Zubarev, Alexey Korotaev).
