Abstract
We consider the process of integration of a complete system of Newman-Penrose equations for electrovacuum spaces of the general theory of relativity with nonzero cosmological constant. The restrictions used for the field variables correspond to strong gravitational waves in semiclosed Universes of Bertotti-Robinson type.
