One of 3 000 copies (each issue) printed.
First and only Russian translation of Liam O'Flaherty's The Assassin (№ 6 – 5-54 pp., № 7 – 41-95 pp., № 8 – 47-91 pp.).

Liam O'Flaherty (1896-1984), major figure in the Irish literary renaissance, a young founder of the Irish Communist Party. He became the most widely translated contemporary Irish writer in the Soviet Union during the interwar period. Four of his books were issued in Russian only in 1927. O'Flaherty traveled to the USSR in spring and wrote about his impressions in I Went to Russia (1931). Some of his observations are funny, some are sad, but all speak of truthful experience. Most likely, that's why the last O'Flaherty's Russian book was published in 1931. According to the Soviet critics, O'Flaherty's The Assassin has diminished the image of the Irish National Liberation movement. That's why the novel has never appeared as a book. This and some other translations of O'Flaherty were prepared by Natalia Kamionskaya (1901-1997). The Assassin's translation based on manuscript.
