[Identification of item], Russia Missiia (Greece) Records, [Box no., Folder no. or title], Hoover Institution Library & Archives.
Records of the Russian Mission in Greece include records of the Russian Mission proper (89 boxes) and of the Agent Ministerstva
torgovli i promyshlennosti (3 boxes). The materials of the latter were organized as a separate series, AGENT MINISTERSTVA
TORGOVLI I PROMYSHLENNOSTI OFFICE FILE. The materials of the mission proper were divided into nine series. Five of these series,
CORRESPONDENCE, FINANCIAL RECORDS, OVERSIZE FILE, MEMORABILIA, and AUDIO-VISUAL, were established on the basis of physical
forms of the documents. The rest of the material was divided into four series: SUBJECT FILE; RUSSIAN CHURCH; RUSSIAN CONSULATES
IN BALKAN COUNTRIES AND IN TURKEY; and RUSSIANS IN FORIEGN COUNTRIES.
Since Russian diplomats sent copies of their official correspondence to other Russian diplomatic and consular offices for
information, the series CORRESPONDENCE includes some correspondence which was neither sent by nor directly addressed to the
Russian Mission in Greece.
The Index provides access to all names and subjects listed in the register. All series are included. Names of Russian diplomats
and officials affiliated with the Russian Mission in Greece recur frequently throughout the register. An Appendix brings all
these names together in one alphabetic sequence and identifies each individual.
Russian terms and names were transliterated in accordance with the Library of Congress system even if they had been previously
transliterated in the original documents differently. Greek names either remained unchanged if they had been previously transliterated
into the Latin alphabet or were transliterated from the Cyrillic alphabet if they appear in the original documents in Russian.
The Russia. Missiia (Greece) Collection documents the activities of the Russian Mission in Athens, Russian consulates, and
Russian refugee organizations in Balkan countries and in Turkey from 1874 until 1925. The Russian Mission and consulates represented
the Russian Imperial Government until the February Revolution of 1917 and the Russian Provisional Government thereafter. The
mission and consulates continued to be considered representatives of the Russian Provisional Government even after the latter
was overthrown by the Bolsheviks in October 1917. They were closed by March 1924 when Greece recognized the USSR.
Some time between 1925 and 1933, the records of the Russian Mission in Greece were apparently sent to Sergei Uget, Financial
Agent and Custodian of Russian Government Property in the United States, whose responsibilities included preservation of the
archives of the Russian Imperial and Provisional government agencies in this country. In 1933 Uget sent about 400 boxes of
documents to the Hoover Institution. The records of the Russian Mission in Greece were a part, about 15%, of the shipment.
However, the correspondence between Uget and the Hoover Institution, which was not very specific on the content of the shipment,
failed to mention the records of the Russian Mission in Greece. A detailed description of the shipment contents seemed unnecessary
at that time. In accordance with the agreement between the parties the documents were closed to researchers for 30 years.
The whole shipment was assumed to be records of the Russian Embassy in Washington. The records of the Russian Mission in Greece
were not identified and organized as a separate collection until 1984.
This collection contains correspondence, communiques, financial records, reports, and printed matter, relating to Greco-Russian
relations, the Balkan War of 1912-1913, the Russian Revolution, Russian refugees, and the Russian Orthodox Church. Includes
consular records from Turkey and the Balkans. Also includes memorabilia and photographs.
