The case of Academician N. N. Luzin in the context of Stalin’s reform of Soviet science. (Russian. English summary) Zbl 0971.01007

The paper is devoted to certain aspects of the so-called “Luzin affair” from the 1930’s. In particular, some interesting material is included: a 1931 letter by E. Kolman urging the initiation of a case against Luzin, a 1936 letter by L. Mekhlis urging that Luzin be included in the Bukharin-Rykov affair. These documents shed new light on the problem.
