When citing from the archive, please be aware that the folio numbers (
listy) in the PDF files and in the paper photocopy version may differ from those on the original documents, which are to be assembled
and numbered by archivists at the two archives where they are deposited. Thus, it is important that the researcher clearly
indicate the version being cited. To standardize citations, it may help to also cite the number written in pencil in the upper
right corner of each document.
The dissertation of Sophie Schmitz is the most extensive and valuable piece of scholarship on the career of G. N. Trubetskoi
to date. She has generously granted permission to publish it in this collection for the first time (d. 103). When citing it,
please include the full dissertation reference: (Sophie Schmitz, "Grigori N. Trubetzkoy: Politik und Völkerrecht, 1873-1930,"
Ph.D. dissertation, University of Vienna, 1971), followed by the
delo number, collection title, repository name, URL and date accessed.
Citations from these sources are allowed, and welcomed. I would very much like to hear about any research done with these
materials (elohr@american.edu). I will pass on the information to the Trubetskoi family, and to the archive of the OCA. I
will also be glad to share any additional information that emerges about Grigorii Nikolaevich Trubetskoi and inform scholars
of work that has been published or is in progress using his papers.

The original documents in
dela (files) 1-83 are held by the State Archive of the Russian Federation (
Gosudarstvennyi arkhiv Rossiskoi Federatsii, GARF) in Moscow. The remaining
dela (files) (84-102) are held by the Archives of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) in Syosset, New York (
http://www.oca.org/DOdept.asp?SID=5&LID=7 ).
Custodial History
The papers of G. N. Trubetskoi were in the possession of his son, Sergei Grigorievich Troubetzkoy (1906-2003) until he deposited
them at the archive of the Orthodox Church of America in Syosset, New York in the 1980s. Sergei Grigorievich added a few files
to the collection in the decades after the death of Grigorii Nikolaevich in 1930, but nearly all the files are original materials
from Grigorii Nikolaevich. In some of the files Sergei Grigorievich added some explanatory notes in his own hand.
Shortly before his death in 2003, Sergei Grigorievich requested that the papers be donated to a Russian archive in order to
make them available to Russian researchers. The original documents in files 1-83 were donated to the State Archive of the
Russian Federation (
Gosudarstvennyi arkhiv Rossiskoi Federatsii, GARF) in Moscow in October 2005. The remaining files (84-102) are held in the Archives of the Orthodox Church in America
(OCA) in Syosset, NY (
http://www.oca.org/DOdept.asp?SID=5&LID=7 ). The children of Sergei Grigorievich-- Mary Troubetzkoy, Alexis Troubetzkoy, and Elizabeth Saika-Voivod--generously facilitated
the transfer.* The OCA archive in Syosset (where Sergei Grigorievich and Mary Troubetzkoy worked for many years) was also
extremely cooperative and helpful throughout the entire process. The typed copy of G. N. Trubetskoi's memoir (d. 104) was
discovered in the papers of Alexander Schmemann in 2005 and made available for this collection by his wife Julianna Schmemann.
All hope that this project will make these materials available to more researchers.
In 2004, with crucial financial and logistical support from American University, and the enthusiastic work of my research
assistant Yuliya Iskhakova, we prepared the
opis' and introduction that follows, and photocopied and scanned the entire archive.** The single set of paper photocopies that
resulted will be held at a location to be determined.
*I would like to thank the Trubetskoi family for helping to make possible what I hope will become an increasingly common practice
in the storage of historical materials. By allowing the reproduction of the G. N. Trubetskoi archive and its wide distribution,
they have greatly reduced the cost and barriers to the use of these valuable materials.
**Several whole newspapers and journals in several of the files were not copied. The dates and titles are listed in the inventory,
and the file or items not copied are marked as such.
Addendum to Custodial History
Prepared by Hoover Institution Library & Archives staff, June 2006
Selected scanned PDF files on CD-Rs were deposited at the Hoover Institution in 2005-2006. These PDF files total about 4.70
GB in size. Please note that not all the documents were scanned by Eric Lohr and offered to the Hoover Institution.
Dela (files) 23, 35, 64, 65, 83, 90, 91, 92, 93, 98, 101, and 102 were not received by the Hoover Institution. In addition,
delo (file) 16 is an empty folder and thus was not scanned. Finally, a few files received by the Hoover could not be posted on
the Internet out of concern that this might violate copyright law. These are
dela (files) 6, 56, and 84. These three PDF files are available in the Hoover Archives reading room.
The Hoover Institution offers the PDF files on the Internet for any interested researcher via the Online Archive of California.
Adobe Acrobat 6.0 or later is needed to view the files. The original PDF files were as large as 271,000 KB. Staff at the Hoover
Institution split these large files into smaller segments and applied compression to create files that would download more
quickly; the total size of the compressed files available online is 3.52 GB. Even so, many of the files are larger than the
ideal for modem downloads; file sizes range from 366 KB to 10,675 KB, although most are in the 4,000 KB to 6,000 KB range.
The "View pages [numbers]" references in the container list refer to the page numbers of the PDF files, which can be different
from the page numbers written on the actual documents.
Please note that the quality and legibility of the scanned files held by the Hoover Institution varies. The Hoover Institution
has no control over image quality and does not possess higher quality "master" images. Among the problems with the scanned
documents received by the Hoover Institution are pages apparently missing or not in sequence, text that is too light to easily
read, bleed-through and overly dark images that make text difficult to read, and text that is cut off and lost. The Hoover
Institution was not consulted during the scanning process and was unable to review the scanned images for quality prior to
receiving the material; rather, it accepted the scanned documents and related finding aid "as is." Because the PDF files are
the only version of the Trubetskoi papers housed at the Hoover Institution, problems with illegible scanned documents must
be resolved by consulting the original materials housed at the OCA and GARF. The Hoover Institution is unable to provide assistance
to researchers who are unable to read any of the scanned documents, or who have other issues with the quality or content of
the digital collection.
Biographical Note
Grigorii Nikolaevich Trubetskoi was born in 1873 to one of Russia's oldest noble families, a family which traces its princely
title to the twelfth century Grand Prince of Lithuania Gediminas. Grigorii had nine sisters and was the youngest of four renowned
brothers. The eldest, Piotr Nikolaevich, was Marshal of the Nobility in Moscow. Sergei Nikolaevich was the rector of Moscow
University, a prominent philosopher, and a popular professor. His funeral spurred large student demonstrations and proved
to be an important event in the 1905 revolution. Evgenii Nikolaevich was also one of Russia's leading philosophers, a professor
at Moscow University, and the editor of
Moskovskii ezhenedel'nik, an important liberal weekly journal that published broadly on foreign affairs and other topics from 1906 to 1911.
Grigorii studied in the department of history and philology and in 1896 he defended his master's thesis on Russian domestic
situation on the eve of the emancipation of the serfs in 1861. He began his diplomatic career with a posting in Constantinople,
where he served for nearly ten years. In 1901, he was promoted to the post of first secretary of the embassy in Constantinople.
In 1906, Trubetskoi left his career to pursue publicistic and scholarly work, dedicating himself to work for "a free liberal
Russia," and commenting extensively on Russian foreign policy. He contributed 53 articles to the liberal journal
Moskovskii ezhenedel'nik between 1906 and 1911 and wrote an influential long article for the collection
Velikaia Rossiia on the tasks of Russian diplomacy and its great power interests.*
In this period he was one of the leaders of a very important political orientation among the liberals that began to express
opposition to the tsar not only on questions of political freedom and domestic political reform, but also by criticizing the
tsar's foreign policy on nationalistic grounds. Trubetskoi's critiques of imperial foreign policy were a nuanced mix of his
attraction to pan-Slav ideas and his realist views on the best ways to maintain a balance of power and avoid war. But on the
whole, his influence probably made it more difficult for the tsar to compromise in the Balkans when Russian and Slav interests
were threatened by Austria, and thus he may have--contrary to his intentions--contributed to one of the key causes of World
War I.
In 1912 Trubetskoi returned to the foreign ministry. His close colleague and friend, Foreign Minister Sergei Sazonov, appointed
him to head the Near Eastern Department of the Foreign Ministry, which was responsible for Balkan and Ottoman affairs. His
influence on foreign policy during the following years was considerably greater than his title might suggest, in large part
due to the deep respect of Sazonov for Trubetskoi's opinions and expertise.**
In June 1914, the Russian representative in Serbia, Hartwig, died unexpectedly, and Trubetskoi was immediately appointed as
his replacement. Trubetskoi's position thus put him at the center of Russian diplomacy during the crucial period of the Russian
entry into the war, and his memoirs of this period are an important source for the study of the outbreak of the war (see d.
56).
Allied negotiations in early 1915 led to plans to occupy Constantinople, envisioning future control to go to Russia. In secret,
G. N. Trubetskoi was named the future Russian commissar of the city. In spring 1915, Trubetskoi accompanied the retreating
Serbian army to Corfu. In 1916-1917 Trubetskoi served as head of the diplomatic chancery at the headquarters of the Russian
Army. He continued his diplomatic career through the time of the Provisional Government, then continued similar work in the
White movement from January 1919 in Kiev and Ekaterinodar as a member of the Special Conference (Osoboe soveshchanie) to the
Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Southern Russia and as head of the Special Conference's religion department. He
worked closely with the movement until forced to leave Russia through the Crimea on one of the last boats to leave prior to
the Bolshevik conquest of the peninsula. He settled in the Paris suburb of Clamart, where he became a benefactor to the émigré
community and continued political and scholarly activities, focused primarily on church matters.
In summer and fall of 1917, Trubetskoi became deeply involved in the politics of church reform as a delegate to the All-Russian
Council of the Orthodox Church. He played an important role in the decision to restore the Moscow patriarchate. Files contain
Trubetskoi's post-1917 correspondence with Patriarch Tikhon, drafts of his many articles in the émigré press about church
politics, and other materials relating to the fate of the Orthodoxy within and outside the Soviet Union in the 1920s. He devoted
much of his energy to a new diplomatic task: working to unify the church and to overcome the divisions among Orthodox in the
world. As his correspondence with Catholic priest and writer Michel d'Herbigny suggests, he extended his diplomatic efforts
toward unification beyond the Orthodox world to the Catholic church as well. In one of his late letters to d'Herbigny, Trubetskoi
expressed his dream that the crises of Russian Orthodoxy and Europe as a whole might provide an opportunity for peace and
universal regeneration.***

Scope and Content Note
The archive includes the 245-page manuscript of a memoir Trubetskoi had written on his work in the Russian diplomatic service
as special emissary to Serbia during the crucial period of the beginning of the July Crisis and the outbreak of war in 1914
(d. 56). It also includes memoirs of his later work in the foreign ministry, experiences in the White movement during the
civil war (1918-1920), and other topics (dd. 70, 71). Particularly valuable is an unpublished 251-page family history and
autobiography that Trubetskoi wrote in 1925 (d. 63 handwritten, d. 104 typed).
Many of the materials in the archive relate to the history of the Orthodox Church and émigré religious politics from the great
Russian Orthodox Church Council (Sobor) of 1917 through the 1920s. These materials include extensive correspondence with metropolitans,
other church officials, and with colleagues interested in religious matters. Several files contain large collections of clippings
from émigré newspapers on the Living Church, Soviet religious policy, and émigré church matters in the 1920s. Scholars have
yet to make use of these rich materials.
The collection also includes correspondence with leading émigré politicians and philosophers Berdiaev, Frank, Bulgakov, Struve,
and others (dd. 2, 19), as well as photographs from Trubetskoi's life in Serbia and Montenegro during the First World War.
Arrangement
Arranged in 104
dela (files). Not all
dela were scanned for online access.
The old numbering that appears in brackets in the container list after each
delo (file) are the original markings on the files, most of which were previously stored at the archive of the Orthodox Church
of America in Syosset, New York. Among the abbreviations used in the brackets are a "b" for "box" and "f" for "folio." I have
renumbered the files, imposing a simple numbering of files with the "d" for
delo (file).

1. 53 articles in
Moskovskii ezhenedel'nik, 1906-1910. This journal, edited by Evgenii N. Trubetskoi (G. N.'s brother), was an important journal for liberal-moderate
commentary on foreign affairs that is often associated with the "right-kadet" orientation in domestic and foreign affairs.
The journal published widely on questions of Russia as a great power and was known for its publication of "neo-slav" articles
arguing for strong assertion of Russian interests in the Balkans. The editorial board included: S. A. Kotliarevskii, A. L.
Pogodin, P. B. Struve, G. N. Trubetskoi, and A. A. Kaufman. 2. Trubetskoi also published extensively in the liberal journal
edited by his close colleague and friend Peter Struve,

Incremental Material 2022
Scope and Contents
This increment includes several bound typescripts and a photographic album. Most of the writings are of an autobiographical
character. They include a typescript draft of "Obliki proshlago." This work deals with the author's childhood, his parents
and siblings (including brothers who also achieved prominence), upbringing and education at Moscow University, all of which
led up to his choice of a career in diplomacy, of which only the very early part is reflected in this text. Trubetskoi's later
career as ambassador to Serbia and his experiences during the Russian Civil War were published in emigration as Russkaia diplomatiia,
1914–1917 g.g. i voina na Balkanakh [Russian Diplomacy in 1914–1917 and the War in the Balkans] (Montreal, 1983) and Gody
smut i nadezhd, 1917–1919 [Years of Troubles and Hope, 1917–1919] (Montreal, 1981). This increment also includes the typescript
drafts of these works. Of particular interest is the photo album, consisting primarily of photographs from Trubetskoi's life
in Serbia and Montenegro during the First World War.
