The book's author, Aadu Must, a professor of archival science at the University of Tartu, illustrates in the book his oft-repeated assertion that the sources of Estonian history are scattered throughout the archives of the countries that ruled our land for many years. The book focuses on archival materials from the Tsarist period stored in the Russian Historical Archive. The author explains in a fascinating way, using human examples, how this archive hides the political background of events and processes, hidden goals and secret politics, propaganda projects, as well as a huge amount of information that the central government considered necessary to collect.
