The problem of integration is discussed for a complete system of Newman-Penrose equations for electrovacuum spaces of the general theory of relativity with nonzero cosmological constant. In terms of the method of spin coefficients, we formulate conditions on the electormagnetic and gravitational field variables, which distinguish a special class of Riemann spaces corresponding to strong gravitational waves in semiclosed Universes of Bertotti-Robinson type.
