Paulina S. Miasnikova (1910-2012) was a friend of Evgeniia Ginzburg from the labor camps. Later she played herself in the theatrical adaptation of Krutoi Marshrut directed by Galina Volchek.

Folder includes Axenova's note indicating that the photocopies were sent to her by Sara Babenysheva, but the location of the original is unknown. Pages come from part 2, chapter 21, "Izvestkovaia." Axenova's note with regard to Babenysheva and the question about the originals applies as well to folders 47 through 51.

Pages come from part 2, chapter 22, "Veselyi Sviatoi." Draft indicates that this is chapter 33, but in the published version, it is 22.

Pages comprise another variant of part 2, chapter 22, "Veselyi Sviatoi," which again is indicated as being chapter 33 instead of 22.
