The publishers were Vasilii Kriazhev, a Russian writer/translator who published children's books and knew both French and German, and two French booksellers, Jean Gautier and Jean-Otto May. They formed an experimental press in Moscow that  survived only a short time. Kri︠a︡zhev later became a teacher--Bookseller's description (Simon Beattie. Short list 1 (2010)).
