Leaders of the Russian Revolution

(Personal Fondy from RGASPI/RTsKhIDNI)

This collection includes the personal fondy of nine Russian revolutionary leaders from the former Central Party Archive, namely L. Martov (Part 1), Vera Zasulich (Part 2), Sergo Ordzhonikidze (Part 3), S. M. Kirov (Part 4), A. A. Zhdanov (Part 5), V. M. Molotov (Part 6), Leon Trotskii (Part 7), P. B. Akselrod (Axelrod) (Part 8), and M. I. Kalinin (Part 9). Parts 1-2 and 6-8 are on microfiche only, Part 5 is on both microfiche and microfilm, and Part 9 is on microfilm only. The microfilm call number is Film A 1009; the microfiche call number is Microfiche W 4543. Both microfilm and microfiche are stored in the basement of Lamont library.

Finding Aids -- The Hollis catalogue claims that there is a hard copy (book) catalogue for this archive, but I could not locate it. The microfilm/microfiche contains copies of the opisi (finding aids) from RGASPI for each Part. These appear at the beginning of the Part, before the documents themselves.
