Scope and Content of Collection
These papers contain the personal documents and correspondence of Constantine L'vovich Zakhartchenko, a Russian émigré and

helicopter, and ZAUM-N-Z cruise missile.
The Subject File includes materials on the professional interests of Zakhartchenko, as well as his activity as an Imperial
Naval Academy alumnus. Major themes include aeronautical engineering, politics and issues relating to space and arms race,
Soviet politics, and history.
Detailed processing and preservation microfilming for these materials were made possible by a generous grant from the National
Endowment for the Humanities and by matching funds from the Hoover Institution and the Holy Trinity Seminary. The grant also
provides depositing a microfilm copy in the Hoover Institution Archives. The original materials remain in the Holy Trinity
Seminary Archives as its property. A transfer table indicating corresponding box and reel numbers is appended to this register.
