Scope and Content of Collection
This collection contains correspondence, writings, memoranda, reports, notes, photographs, and memorabilia relating to Russian
political and foreign affairs, 1900-1917, Russian involvement in World War I, the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II, and the
Russian Revolution and Civil War. It includes drafts and background materials for N. A. Bazili's books.
This collection was reprocessed in 2011 after it became apparent that many of the writings attributed to Bazili in the original
register were not actually his. In the course of the reprocessing, it further emerged that the bulk of the subject file actually
contained drafts and materials relating to a book Bazili had intended to write (referred to as "Untitled book on Imperial
Russia" in the register). The correspondence revealed that in the early 1930s, Bazili undertook to write his memoirs (published
posthumously in 1973). This project quickly expanded into a more general examination of pre-revolutionary Russia, due to Bazili's
desire to explain the causes of the revolution to his foreign readers and place his personal memoirs in a broader context.
For this reason, Bazili turned to three primary collaborators: Prince V. A. Obolenskii (who wrote most of the original draft
texts), D. M. Odinets, and A. V. Rumanov (who contributed little material, but played an important role in coordinating the
project, especially during Bazili's frequent and lengthy absences from Paris on business). In addition, he commissioned a
large number of treatises from various authors on specialized topics.
In this new register, an effort was made to restore Bazili's original conception of this book by identifying and listing the
authors of the works and their titles. Furthermore, it has been possible to restore several of the draft chapters (which had
previously been allocated to the subject file) including six numbered chapters that form the core of the work. Similarly,
background materials to
Rossiia pod sovietskoi vlast'iu and Bazili's posthumously published memoirs have been allocated to their proper place in the register hierarchy. This approach
made it possible to restore a collection that had previously been seen as primarily a source for political and diplomatic
history into prominence as a source for Russian intellectual history, since many of the writings commissioned by Bazili were
produced by leading émigré scholars and thinkers, such as M. V. Bernatskii, P. B. Struve, G. P. Fedotov, K. I. Zaitsev, I.
I. Tkhorzevskii, and N. V. Vol'skii. In order to facilitate locating materials previously cited by researchers using the previous
collection structure, the register was heavily cross-referenced and folder contents disclosed. Increments received after the
compilation of the original finding aid have also been incorporated into the body of the register.
Reprocessing further allowed the identification of previously unidentified correspondents and authors and the identification
of significant portions of material that were not included in the published version of Bazili's memoirs. Order was also established
in the writings and interviews of A. I. Guchkov, a key figure in the events of the February 1917 revolution in Russia. Bazili's
interview with Guchkov was published-with some inaccuracies and omissions-as
Aleksandr Ivanovich Guchkov rasskazyvaet (Moskva, 1993). Guchkov's typescript memoirs, previously attributed to Bazili, have been properly attributed to their true
author.
Two other related collections, that of Bazili's wife (Lascelle De Basily) and mother (Eva de Basily-Callimaki), are also held
by the Hoover Institution. Rules of cataloging have created a regrettable, but unavoidable confusion in the spelling of the
surname: Bazili is the Russian name as transliterated using the Library of Congress system, De Basily is the Americanized
spelling taken by Lascelle, but applies only to her as she was born American and this is her married name, and de Basily is
the name under which Eva de Basily-Callimaki published her writings in France, with the "de" denoting her nobility, hence
it is applied to her individually.
The collection dates refer only to the papers, not the artwork, which dates from the 17th to the 20th centuries.
The
Biographical File contains passports, certificates and other identity papers, a brief autobiographical sketch and partial curriculum vita,
as well as family correspondence and lecture notes from Bazili's years as a student of the Imperial Alexander Lyceum.
Correspondence mostly relates to
Russia under Soviet Rule, Bazili's major work on the conditions that brought about the revolution and the economic situation of the Soviet Union:
most correspondents thank Bazili for sending them his book, some discuss reviews, and publishers address the issue of translations.
But some letters of substance reveal Bazili's and/or his correspondents' views on a variety of topics, particularly involving
the writing of this book, his other (untitled and unpublished) work on Imperial Russia or his memoirs.
The
Office File is composed of original historical documents, mainly correspondence and reports relating to diplomatic affairs during World
War I, when Bazili headed the Diplomatic Chancellery at Russian GHQ in Mogilev.
Speeches and Writings include background materials, drafts and notes for Bazili's major work, first published in Russian in 1937 by La Maison du
Livre Etranger (Paris) under the title
Rossiia pod sovietskoi vlast'iu; then in French in 1938 by Librairie Plon (Paris) as
La Russie sous les Soviets: Vingt ans d'expérience bolchévique; then in English in 1938 by George Allen & Unwin, Ltd. (London) as
Russia under Soviet Rule: Twenty Years of Bolshevik Experiment; and finally in Italian, by Fratelli Bocca-Editori, in 1939 for the first volume,
La Formazione dello stato sovietico: La Russia sotto il dominio sovietico, and in 1940 for the second volume,
Vent'anni dell' esperimento bolscevico. Bazili's other writings, particularly his untitled work on Imperial Russia and his memoirs are also represented by notes,
drafts, research materials, interviews and writings by others commissioned by Bazili.
The
Vladimir Burtsev File consists of biographical material on Burtsev, his writings and collected papers relating to Boris Savinkov, received by Bazili
from Burtsev (via Arkadii Rumanov).
The
Subject Filecontains materials collected by Bazili or retained from his diplomatic career on various subjects, some potentially for use
in the production of the books he sought to write. Of particular significance are the documents relating to the abdication
of Nicholas II.
The
Photograph File contains prints depicting N. A. Bazili, colleagues in the diplomatic service, members of the Imperial Family, Sergei D. Sazonov,
General Mikhail Alekseev, as well as other people, places, and events associated with Bazili's life and work. There are also
numerous prints and negatives of the artwork collected by Bazili and his wife Lascelle.
Memorabilia includes various items associated with Bazili's career and apparently also his wife's charitable activities, such as orders
and decorations. Also included are various miscellaneous items and a dress sword worn by his great-grandfather.
The
Vault File includes Bazili's notes and drafts of the abdication manifesto (photocopies are available). It also includes certain photographs
and artwork which may be viewed by arrangement with the director of Library and Archives under direct supervision.
The
Art Collection belonging to Bazili and his wife, Lascelle, is located in the vault and in the Nicolas de Basily Room and is not generally
available for public viewing. In his memoirs,
Pravo na proshloe (Moscow, 2005), A. P. Shcherbatov wrote that the Hoover Institution has "closed the Bazili Museum and partially sold the
collection." This statement is patently false. The collection was specially surveyed by the compiler of this register in order
to ascertain its completeness. Fortunately, both the Bazilis and the Hoover Institution kept meticulous records on the artwork:
not only are acquisitions reflected in Lascelle De Basily's
Memoirs of a Lost World, but the papers contain photographs of each individual work of art and furniture, hand-labeled by the donor. Those items
photographed but not now located at Hoover were never donated to Hoover: a search of the Hoover Institution Records revealed
lists and appraisals of all donated works and no indication of any sale, disposal, or dispersal of artwork beyond the territory
of Stanford University (three drawings by Auguste Rodin are on display at the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford, having been
donated to said museum by Lascelle De Basily herself, and two paintings-Nicolas-Antoine Taunay's "Empress Josephine Receiving
Gifts of Contemporary Artists" and Thomas Hand's "Rustic Scene"-are on loan to the Cantor Arts Center). Based on these records
it can be established that all the artwork donated by Lascelle De Basily is accounted for and nothing has been sold or disposed
of otherwise. Because Shcherbatov's memoirs contain at least ten glaring errors in the brief section on Bazili alone, the
book's reliability is highly dubious in all respects. For a listing of the artwork in the Nicolas de Basily Room, see Lascelle
De Basily,
Works of Art in the Nicolas de Basily Room of the Hoover Institution (Stanford, CA: Hoover Institution Press, 1972; reprinted 2015).
