Scope and Content of Collection

This collection is subdivided into two topics. The first consists of fourteen reels of taped oral history interviews with builders involved in constructing the Baikalo-Amurskaia magistral (BAM), 1975-77. This was the last of the grandiose construction projects undertaken in the Soviet Union. The interviewees, ranging from students and novice construction workers to engineers and managers, came to work on BAM from all over the USSR. A handwritten index to the interviews is contained on three leaves.

The second focal point in the collection is a box of papers containing background materials for Zhilkina's book Stoianie v istine. Transcripts of oral history interviews, research notes, photographs, correspondence, and other documents concern the history of the Russian civil war and the postrevolutionary immigration to China and San Francisco.
