The intersections of scholarship, literature, and arts have informed the contents and the writing style of Tsyganskaya tragedia–it is both informative and emotional. The topic of suffering and resistance of Roma during the Second World War was indeed central to the work of Nikolay Bessonov (1962–2017), a Russian artist, writer, and scholar. The second volume, which focuses on armed resistance of Roma, was published by Nikolay Bessonov in 2010. It was prepared for publication posthumously by the members of the Nikolay Bessonov Foundation for Gypsy Culture and History. The first volume of the book Tsyganskaya tragedia 1941–1945: Fakty, Dokumenty, Vospominaniya is dedicated to the genocide experiences of Roma in the German-occupied Soviet Union.
