The publication outlines the lifestory of the stage artist and decorator P. P. Snopkov, the former husband of the artist A. I. Poret and a member of the circle of friends of Daniil Kharms. Using the documents discovered in the archives of the Federal Security Service, the author traces the history of Snopkov’s arrest in the besieged Leningrad, in order to establish the sources and essence of the charges against him. The data on the investigation of Snopkov, protocols of interrogations and confrontations have not previously been published.
