Русский заграничный исторический архив в Праге - документация

Description

The publication in Czech and Russian contains an inventory list of the collection of operational documents (registry) of the Russian Historical Archive Abroad (Russkii zagranichnii istoricheskii arkhiv – RZIA) now housed in the Prague Slavonic Library and in the State Archive of the Russian Federation in Moscow. The Archive existed between the years 1923 and 1945 in Prague, which was then one of the main centers of Russian emigration. Due to its composition, the RZIA has become world-wide unique resource. Its collections contained archival documents, books and periodicals on Russian emigration, Russian revolutionary movement and the development of the Soviet Union. This publication facilitates for the first time systematic mapping of the Russian Historical Archive Abroad workings and its fate between the two World Wars.
