In his work Prof. V.S.Brachev for the first time in Russian historiography makes an attempt of integral interpretation of the history of a large scientific association of pre-revolutionary Russia - St.Petersburg University school of "Russian historians", represented by such names as N.K.Bestuzheva-Ryumina, E.E.Zamyslovsky, S.F.Platonov, N.D.Chechulin and a number of other outstanding historians. Unlike his predecessors who also elaborated this topic, Prof. Brachev attempted to turn down existing stereotypes and soundly bring to the forefront usually concealed by researchers social and political face of this St.Petersburg school. This circumstance, in author's opinion, has become decisive for starting the frenzied persecution of the school's scientists by Marxist historians, which resulted in the school's ruining as a cosequence of a trumped-up by the OGPU so-called "Academician case" of 1929-1931.
