Abstract
The article is devoted to a reconstruction of the biography of A. G. Prigozhin in 1934-1937 based on materials that were previously unknown: criminal investigations case files as a part of the Central Archive of the Federal Security Service, Administration of the Federal Security Service for Saint-Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, and a personal file held in the Central State Archives of Historical and Political Documents. A research work with these documents allowed to fill the gaps in the biography of vice-chairman of the State Academy for the History of Material Culture, study events that had happened before the arrests of A. G. Prigozhin, find out new details and main directions of the investigation process in the case about “the terrorist organization of the State Academy for the History of Material Culture” (1936).
