The text is printed according to the Russian edition of the book “Community” (Urga, 1927), taking into account the rules of modern spelling and punctuation, while preserving the stylistic features and semantic shades of the original. The book “Community” was first published in Russian in 1927 in Urga (now the capital of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar). The text of this publication was prepared for publication by Helena Roerich herself, including selected and edited fragments of recordings of conversations with her spiritual Mentor, the Great Master M. The publication was based on her diary entries for the period from July 12, 1925 to March 26, 1927. The publication was intended for readers of Soviet Russia.
.In 1936, a new edition of the book “Community” was published in Riga in Russian, supplemented by new paragraphs, the text of which was recorded at the end of December 1935. Nevertheless, on its cover the year of recording of the main volume of the book’s text was indicated: “1926”.
