This collection consists of the papers of the Russian and Portuguese Consul in Hankow, China. The main emphasis is on this
city and its surroundings in the period 1918-1946, but there is information on more general developments in China, Russia
(the Soviet Union) and the United States over the entire period from 1898 to 1962.
Where possible, the arrangement reflects the original order established by Bel'chenko and respects many of the categories
defined by A. S. Loukashkin, who processed the collection upon its acquisition by the Museum of Russian Culture.
A Chinese politics series has been created to encompass materials not readily absorbed into the usual series. This series
contains materials relating to Bel'chenko's service as Portuguese Consul in Hankow as well as his continued performance of
consular and representative functions with respect to the Russian colony in Hankow and to the Russian émigré diplomatic corps.
It includes his consular reports, correspondence, and Bel'chenko's published and unpublished summaries and reports on Chinese
political developments, with supporting materials (mainly clippings from the
Hankow Herald,
Central China Post,
China Courier,
People's Tribune,
Journal de Shanghai,
North China Daily News and other newspapers).
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 Museum of Russian Culture. The grant also
provides depositing a microfilm copy in the Hoover Institution Archives. The original materials and copyright to them (with
some exceptions) are the property of the Museum of Russian Culture, San Francisco. A transfer table indicating corresponding
box and reel numbers is available at the Hoover Institution Archives.

United States (Title 17 United States Code) and Hoover Rules for the Use and Reproduction of Archival Materials.
