The second volume of essays brings the author's reports and articles for newspapers and magazines from the middle of 1933 to the end of 1937, when the novel Moskva-hranice was published. We divide the critical edition of the sources into four sections, in which we chronologically arrange (I) reports (II) articles, (III) reviews of specific artistic (literary and film), journalistic or scientific works, and (IV) review articles dealing repeatedly with the latest developments in Soviet literature.
