An initial directory briefly characterizing the holdings of former Communist Party archives currently held in 3 federal archives in Moscow and 73 regional repositories throughout the Russian Federation, all of which were nationalized and became part of the state archival system after 1991. Weak on bibliography of recent guides and other reference publications.

The last directory of state archives under Glavarkhiv, based on data from the end of 1986. Still helpful for a brief description of the holdings in state archives as then organized throughout the former USSR.

A.I. Loginova, S.V. Nefedova, and I.N. Firsov. Moscow, 1956. 508 p. [GAU MVD SSSR] (Lib: CStH; DLC; GARF-NB; IU; MH; MiU; Rosarkhiv) [IDC-R-3533] (Hereafter: GA Spravochnik [1956])

1st ed.: Lviv, 1979. 335 p. [IDC-R-14,870] (Lib: DLC; MH). Even today still the most comprehensive directory available with helpful descriptions of holdings in many repositories and extensive bibliography of finding aids, although often uneven and incomplete in institutional coverage. Awkwardly presented for reference use. Considerably expanded in terms of descriptions of archival holdings and bibliography of finding aids from the first edition. See the P.K. Grimsted review with additional bibliography Recent Soviet Archival Literature: A Review and Preliminary Bibliography of Selected Reference Aids (Washington, DC, 1986) and summary version: in Slavic Review 45, no. 3 (Fall 1986).

A selected list of documents relating to the famine in the USSR in 1930–1934, pointedly aimed to counter increased recent politicized claims that the famine was predominantly a Ukrainian phenomenon, intended by Stalin and the Soviet leadership as genocide exclusively against the Ukrainian population. The collection with reports culled from GA RF, RGAE, RGASPI (former CP Central Archive), and TsA FSB (former KGB archive) demonstrate increasing famine due to the speed of forced collectivization and excessive requisitioning of grain for export. The tragic results, as explained in the introduction, came from inadequate grain supplies, peasant opposition to the Stalin agrarian policies, and central requisitioning for export in many areas of the USSR—especially black earth regions, northern Caucasus, Trans-Volga regions, and Kazhakstan, as well as the Ukrainian SSR. The documents are part of a three-volume publication in preparation (started in October 2007) under the direction of V.P. Kozlov, illustrating the theme: “Famine did not choose one people. It was a general tragedy of all people then living in the USSR.”
