His main work on Mecklenburg from 1915 , translated into German in 1930, made him known in Germany and caused criticism from German national historians . This led to a "clear (n) radicalization" of Mecklenburg regional historiography. In the opinion of Johannes Papritz , head of the Berlin-Dahlem Publications Office , the thesis that the internal colonization of Mecklenburg was carried out by Slavs was harmful to “German interests”. Papritz intervened in July 1931 and saw to it that the second volume was condemned by the archive director Hans Witte from Neustrelitz , who had praised the first volume in a review. In 1932 a third volume appeared as a supplement in which Witte described Jegorov's book as “state-ordered political work”; the Reich Ministry of the Interior paid Witte a fee for this and assumed additional costs.
