История царской тюрьмы. Том 3, 1870-1900 гг.

History of the Russian prison during the tsarist times. Volume 3, 1870-1900

The capital work of M. N. Gernet is the most complete study of the tsarist prison, which has ever come out from under the pen of Russian pre-revolutionary and Soviet scientists. Gernet has been working on research into the history of the prison for several decades. He collected, systematized and summarized a vast amount of factual material relating to the history of the tsarist prison (almost two centuries before the October Revolution), which was carefully guarded by the tsarist government from prying eyes.
