It was suppressed during Stalin's regime, and its editions confiscated and destroyed, whilst its implicit attack on the authoritarian Soviet state resulted in Losev's arrest in 1930 and his confinement for three years in a forced labour camp. Following his release, Losev was never again permitted to write on spiritual or political themes. This new edition is based upon the definitive Russian text and includes a full introduction, chronology and notes."--BOOK JACKET.
