Some twenty years ago two young people, Dmitry Valovoi and Henrietta Lapshina, walking in the Alexandrovsky Gardens of the Moscow Kremlin, became interested in the names carved in a stone. To find exhaustive information of each person named on the obelisk turned out to be a no easy matter, involving painstaking research, which developed into serious scientific work. It culminated in the creation of a book, brought out in Russian in 1980 and now published in English.
Dmitry Valovoi is a Doctor of Economics and publicist on the staff of the newspaper Pravda. Henrietta Lapshina is an economist.
