Scope and Contents note

This finding aid has been prepared for 288 microfilm reels of Fond R-1005. It contains 4,111 files of documents relating to the activities of the USSR Procurator's Office, 1919-1921
Revolutionary tribunals were established during the October Revolution and Civil War by the USSR Sovnarkom Decree on Courts of November 22 (December 5) 1917, as special courts designated to fight counterrevolutionary and other crimes deemed extraordinarily dangerous.
Cases dealing with general crime, first under the jurisdiction of revolutionary tribunals, were removed from them by the RSFSR Sovnarkom Decree of May 4, 1918, and transferred to the newly established local people's courts at the okrug level. Revolutionary tribunals concentrated on cases related to the struggle against counterrevolution, sabotage, plunder, pogroms, bribery, profiteering, and desertion. The Revolutionary Tribunal under the VTsIK was established by a VTsIK Decree of May 29(16), 1918, and was charged with investigation of the most important court cases. The Revolutionary Tribunal became the Supreme Revolutionary Tribunal under the VTsIK on April 12, 1919; and from June 23, 1921, it was the Supreme Tribunal under the VTsIK, uniting the activities of all tribunals on RSFSR territory. The Revolutionary Tribunal consisted of appeal, military, and military transport collegiums. During the Civil War revolutionary military tribunals operated in the army and were headed by the Revolutionary Military Tribunal attached to the Revolutionary Military Council (Revvoensovet) of the Republic. The statute on revolutionary military tribunals was approved by the Revvoensovet on February 4, 1919. All political and military crimes and those of officials that took place in the army were under the jurisdiction of the tribunals. In the beginning of 1920 revolutionary military tribunals were established for railways, other modes of transport, and internal security troops.
A VTsIK resolution of 31 October 1922, established the RSFSR Supreme Court and transferred the tribunal's functions to it, thus abolishing the system of tribunals. However, revolutionary military tribunals were preserved in the army, and after that time they were called military tribunals.
The RSFSR Supreme Court was in charge of all judicial institutions; it investigated appeals against decisions of courts in guberniias and decisions adopted by various courts of the republic. It also tried cases of the utmost importance as a court of primary jurisdiction.
For the Hoover Institution microfilm project 4,194 files out of 5,040 from eight opisi out of nine were microfilmed. It should be noted that only selected files were microfilmed from opis 1A containing files tried by the RSFSR Supreme Court.
This fond includes circulars of the Supreme Tribunal under the VTsIK and of the RSFSR Supreme Court, protocols of court sessions, and documents relating to the activities and reorganization of revolutionary tribunals. The register of court cases tried by the Revolutionary Tribunal and Supreme Tribunal under the VTsIK and by the USSR Supreme Court in 1918-1940 were also preserved in this fond.
Fond R-1005 contains correspondence with the VTsIK Presidium regarding suspension of death sentences or commutation of other penalties for death sentences, documents relating to the activities of revolutionary tribunals including a circular letter from the Revolutionary Tribunal of the Republic, Regulations for Revolutionary Military Tribunals in the Army, lists of revolutionary military tribunals for fronts, armies, and military okrugs, with reports about their activities and reorganization, and about the operation of their special local sessions; and data regarding revision of the activities of revolutionary military tribunals for railways.
Also included in the fond are documents relating to appeals from individuals convicted by revolutionary tribunals in guberniias of various crimes. They were arranged by year or type of crime. Within groups of documents by type of crimes documents are in alphabetical order arranged by name of appellants.
Only selected files from court cases tried by the Supreme Court (opis 1A) were included in the microfilm collection. They relate to the conviction of different individuals of political crimes such as cooperation with police institutions before the revolution and anti-Soviet and counterrevolutionary activities. It should be noted that upon a closer study of these cases it becomes apparent that minor offenses committed in everyday life and by officials were often classified as "anti-Soviet activities."

Fond R-4042, Main Directorate of Places of Confinement of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs of the RSFSR, 1922-1930

Physical Description: 325 reels

Scope and Contents note

This finding aid has been prepared for 325 microfilm reels of Fond R-4042. It contains 1,847 files of documents relating to the activities of the USSR Procurator's Office, 1919-1921
Upon establishment of the Soviet power the system of penal institutions was governed by the People's Commissariat of Justice, which included the Main Directorate of Places of Confinement. When the Civil War broke out, along with the system of places of confinement there appeared a system of forced labor camps. Some forced labor camps reported to the VChK, others were governed by the Main Directorate of Forced Labor of the USSR NKVD. It was created on April 15, 1919, as a Central Directorate of Forced Labor Camps; then from May 17, 1919, through May 18, 1920, as a Department of Forced Labor; from May through September 1920 and from February 1921 through October 1922 it became the Main Administration of Forced Labor; and from September 1920 through February 1921 it was the Main Directorate of Public Works and Duties. Officially there existed five types of camps: special camps, general concentration camps, production camps, camps for POWS, and placement camps.
It was supposed that class enemies would be sent to the VChK and NKVD camps, while working people convicted of various crimes would be sent to places of confinement. In practice working people were sent to camps, and the so-called "non-labor elements" were sent to places of confinement. According to a report of the Main Directorate of Forced Labor, 28.5% of inmates were convicted of criminal offences in the second half of 1921, while 18.2% of inmates were convicted of anti-public crimes, like heavy drinking, prostitution, or vagrancy.
A resolution of the RSFSR Sovnarkom of July 25, 1922, required that management of all places of confinement be concentrated in one organization, the NKVD. In response to the resolutions the Central Correctional Labor Department of the People's Commissariat of Justice and its local divisions were reorganized into the main and local directorates of places of confinement under the NKVD and NKVD divisions in guberniias. The Main Directorate of Forced Labor of the NKVD and its local divisions were abolished.
The Main Directorate of Places of Confinement was responsible for the following:
1. To supervise execution of sentences by depriving convicts of freedom or sending them to forced labor camps;
2. To govern all places of confinement;
3. To convey basics of penal policy by applying necessary measures to convicts, like isolation or educational correctional labor in places of confinement established by them;
4. To establish a forced labor system without holding laborers in custody;
5. To participate in designing measures fighting child crime and governing the places of confinement for underage criminals.
Places of confinement were defined by type: 1) detention centers for those under investigation or sentenced to a term up to six months; 2) correctional labor centers for those sentenced to a term longer than six months; 3) agricultural, vocational, and factory labor colonies for first time offenders without inclination to escape; 4) special isolation cells for those sentenced to a strict isolation imprisonment; 5) transitional correctional labor centers for inmates who, upon serving a part of their term, were allowed by a placement commission to serve further under a "half free" regime. Centers for underage offenders also existed. There were separate labor camps for workers and peasant youth offenders, as well as medical institution for social protection.
The Main Directorate of Places of Confinement consisted of the Secretariat; the Administrative-Penal Department including Placement Subdepartment, Administrative Subdepartment, Subdepartment of Culture and Education, and Subdepartment of Registration and Statistics; the Department of Labor and Operation of GUMZ Enterprises including the Technological, Agricultural, and Operational Subdepartments; the Department of Economy and Supplies including Procurement Subdepartment and Subdepartment of Accounting and Financing; and the Convoy Guards of the Republic. GUMZ personnel consisted of 113 people. In 1924 GUMZ personnel were reduced to 66 people working for the following GUMZ departments: the Secretariat; the Division of Stocktaking and Registration; the Administrative Penal Department; the Inspectorate of Convoy Guards; the Bureau of Forced Labor; the Placement Commission, the Department of Labor and Operation; and the Department of Economy and Procurement.
The local divisions managing correctional labor institutions and inspections of places of confinement in guberniias, reported to both the administrative departments of executive committees in guberniias and to the GUMZ. However, in 1927 the inspectorates of places of confinement were abolished, thus transferring management of places of confinement directly to the GUMZ. For general management and political control on a local level, departments of places of confinement were established within NKVD administrative directorates/departments in guberniias/oblasts. By the July 11, 1929, Sovnarkom resolution On the Use of Labor of Criminal Offenders, those sentenced to three or more years of imprisonment were sent to correctional labor camps that were being established by the OGPU. These camps were planned to become centers for development of distant areas. The NKVD Directorates of the union republics retained the authority over places of confinement for those sentenced to imprisonment for less than three years, defendants under trial, and over transit centers. The Main Directorate for Places of Confinement was abolished along with the system of NKVD institutions in December 1930.
At the head of the Main Directorate of Places of Confinement throughout its existence was E. G. Shirvindt.
Fond R-4042 consists of 5,253 files, including 735 files relating to the GUMZ personnel. All documents from this fond became fully available for researchers in the early 1990s. Of all files, 1,847 files from opisi 1, 1A, 2-7, 9-11, and 13 were microfilmed for the Hoover project (approximately 35 % of the whole collection).
Documents from this fond reveal how in the 1920s the administrative commanding system, Soviet penal system, and finally the Stalin Gulag were established, as they show the creation of camps, colonies, and wide use of inmates' labor in industry, on construction sites, and in agriculture, for example at the Volgo-Kaspiĭ-Forest logging areas, at the construction of the Turkestan-Siberian Railway, etc.
For the microfilming project materials of the Secretariat, Administrative Penal Department, Departments of Finance, of Culture and Education, of Forced Labor, of Economy and Supply, the GUMZ Placement Commission, the Moscow Directorate of Forced Labor and of the NKVD Moscow Division, as well as the documents of the Board of the United Cluster Enterprises of Forced Labor were selected.
The Fond of the Main Directorate of Places of Confinement was placed in the Central Archives of the October Revolution in 1933; at that time it consisted of 72,224 files. We see that materials of the GUMZ have not been preserved in full. Along with materials of many other institutions in the early years of the Soviet power, documents of the GUMZ suffered from waste paper gathering campaigns and multiple weedings in 1941, 1956-1957, 1959, 1975, 1982, and 1984. The majority of documents designated for destruction consisted of inmates' personal files.
However, preserved materials still make a great source of information highlighting a comprehensive picture of the activities of the GUMZ and its subordinates, and the role and place of the GUMZ in the NKVD and in the punitive system of the 1920s. Some documents are original, some copies. Documents from the Department of Forced Labor, Cultural and Educational Department, and the Secretariat were best preserved. At the same time only four files were preserved from the Finance Department: The main ledgers of the GUMZ for 1924-1928 and three files with orders and instructions of the RSFSR NKVD regarding the number of administrative units in the USSR in 1924-1925 were preserved among the materials of the Bureau of Forced Labor of the RSFSR NKVD. Materials of the Division of Registration and Recording and the Inspectorate of Convoy Guards were lost.
The largest number of documents preserved (731 files for the years 1922-1929) came from the Department of Forced Labor (in documents often called the Department of Labor). Among them one can find resolutions, circulars, minutes of the VTsIK, RSFSR Sovnarkom, NKVD and other people's commissariats, orders for the GUMZ, reports, accounts of GUMZ inspectors and other materials relating to inspection of places of confinement, etc. A considerable part of the materials of the Department of Forced Labor are documents highlighting many facets in the process of establishing the system of forced labor and use of inmates' labor in industry and agriculture, including reports, data, correspondence with the Economic Conference of the RSFSR, various people's commissariats, colonies, and correctional labor centers relating to the operation of camp enterprises, supplies of equipment and raw materials for them, rules for assigning inmates to work at the enterprises, their wages, production plans, and other issues.
Materials of the Administrative Penal Department include 635 files for the years 1922-1929. Among them are resolutions of the VTsIK, Sovnarkom, NKVD, and other institutions; rules and regulations, circulars, orders, instructions, reports, correspondence, and other documents relating to the work of bureaus of forced labor in okrugs and raions, inspectorates of places of confinement in guberniias and krais, the situation in places of confinement, and the guarding of the inmates, as well as documents relating to the struggle against juvenile delinquency, underage inmates, escapes, hunger strikes, complaints from inmates, inspection of places of confinement, etc.
Materials of the GUMZ Secretariat consisting of 74 files for the years 1922-1928 include documents relating to GUMZ activities, its structure and the structure of local NKVD departments and directorates and to preparation for and conduct of congresses of correctional labor system personnel, and other issues.
Documents of the Department of Culture and Education in 199 files for the years 1922-1928 relate to cultural and educational work in the places of confinement, installation of radio broadcasting, publication of newspapers and magazines, introduction of the systems of self-education and extramural education in the places of confinement, and inspection of cultural and educational work there.
Materials of the Moscow division of the GUMZ (83 files for the years 1922-1928) relate to the activities of the Bureau of Forced Labor in Moskovskaia guberniia, the situation in places of confinement in Moscow and Moskovskaia guberniia, production activities of the places of confinement in Moscow, payment for inmates' labor, rules for work at forced labor places, and other matters.
A few documents from the Central Production and Economy Association of Enterprises and the Unified Branch of Enterprises of Forced Labor (10 files for the years 1924-1928) give some understanding of the work of these associations.
Fond R-4042 also contains documents of the All-Russian Committee for Aid to Released Prisoners and the All-Russian Committee for Aid to Prisoners (13 files for the years 1923-1924) including statutes, minutes, accounts, and reports about the activities of the societies, and other documents.
Materials of one of the GUMZ predecessors, the Moscow Directorate of Forced Labor (41 files for the years 1920-1922), include orders of the Main and Moscow Directorates of Forced Labor, documents relating to the situation in the places of confinement, etc.
As was already mentioned, not all materials from fond R-4042 were microfilmed for the Hoover Institution. Materials from the Personnel Department (opis 8), consisting of 722 files for the years 1918-1929 and including orders, circulars, instructions relating to the GUMZ personnel, lists, questionnaires, applications from employees, personnel charts for the GUMZ and local directorates, questionnaires filled out by delegates to the 1925 First All-Union Conference of Penal System Personnel, requests for salary payment to the GUMZ employees, etc., were not microfilmed, nor were personal files of the GUMZ employees (opis 12), consisting of 13 files for the years 1923-1924. Personal files of convicts totaling almost a half of all files in this fond (opisi 14 and 15 consisting of 2,500 files for the years 1919-1928) and including copies of sentences, statements and decisions relating to revision of claims, inmates' complaints, personal papers of convicts, and other documents were not microfilmed. Materials from opis 16 include statements and accounts relating to registration and evacuation of foreigners and prisoners of war, placement and maintenance of former officers of the White Army, transfer of prisoners from one detention center to another, statistical data about the production process in places of confinement, prisoners' escapes, and enforcement of judgments. The opis consists of 35 files for the years 1920-1928.

The Soviet penal system operated under the immediate supervision of the USSR Council of People's Commissars/Council of Ministers. Materials of these organizations comprise Fond R-5446. Some 1278 selected files from 47 opisi were microfilmed for the Soviet Communist Party and Soviet State microfilm collection. Of these 725 files from the opisi marked with the letter A became available for researchers only in the 1990s.
Most of the selected documents are files of the Administration of Affairs of the USSR Sovnarkom/Sovmin. They relate to the activities of the OGPU, USSR NKVD/MVD, and their local organizations. They mainly consist of correspondence and other materials of the TsK VKP(b), USSR Procurator's Office, USSR Supreme Court, people's commissariats, and other institutions. The documents reflect the process of developing governmental resolutions and directives that would further define the structure and operation of those organizations and institutions, their financing, and logistic supplies rendered to them. This collection includes documents about the establishment of the special Solovetskiĭ forced labor camp, appropriation of money for establishment and maintenance of camps and colonies, financing and functioning of the OGPU and its local organs, the structure and operation of the Gulag and its multiple projects, establishment of labor settlements, and selection of areas in the USSR that could be used as exile sites. A group of records in the fond concerns wages of personnel in camps, colonies and prisons, appointment of executive officers to head the OGPU/NKVD/MVD, etc. Included also are appeals and petitions from prisoners and/or their relatives. The microfilm collection also include documents relating to changes or amendments to the Statute of the Supreme Court of the USSR, approval of personnel organization of the Supreme Court and its local divisions, increase in wages of the chair and members of the Supreme Court special collegium, and development of the final draft of the USSR Criminal Code. Of special interest are files from the Secretariat of A. Ya. Vyshinskiĭ, Deputy Chairman of the USSR Council of Ministers, for 1939-1940 ( opis 81A). They contain Vyshinskiĭ's correspondence with various institutions relating to the activities of the USSR Procurator's Office, courts, and cultural and educational institutions and to other issues he handled as the Deputy Chairman of the USSR Council of Ministers, a deputy of the USSR Supreme Soviet and a member of a number of commissions.
This finding aid is arranged by original file number (second row of each entry), with reference to the corresponding microfilm reel number (first row). The description of a group of files is listed under the first file in numerical order. Names of republics are spelled in compliance with the Library of Congress Authority File. Names of administrative-territorial units of the USSR (raĭon, oblast, kraĭ) are transliterated from Russian. The Russian abbreviations for party/state organs and institutions are used. They are decoded in the glossary. The Russian finding aid can be found on reels 3.49-3.59.

Fond R-7521, Records of the Commission for Private Amnesty of the Presidium of the USSR Central Executive Committee records, 1925-1937

Physical Description: 43 reels

Scope and Contents note

This description has been prepared for 44 microfilm reels of Fond R-7521. It contains documents relating to activities of the Commission for Private Amnesty of the Presidium of the USSR Central Executive Committee 1926-1938.
The Commission for Private Amnesty was established on March 8, 1926, by a resolution of the Presidium of the USSR TsIK with the task of reviewing amnesty request cases submitted to the Presidium of the USSR TsIK. Prisoners petitioning for pardon had been convicted by the USSR Supreme Court, military tribunals, OGPU Collegium, or OGPU Special Counsel. The commission was also involved with reviewing petitions to all courts without exception relating to the revocation of the order of the Red Banner that had been previously awarded to individual citizens. Cases political in nature and relating to espionage were excluded from the Commission's deliberations. The Commission was liquidated on April 16, 1938 by the resolution of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet
Documents in this collection mostly include minutes of the Presidium of the USSR TsIK and the Commission for Private Amnesty of the Presidium re granting pardons and clearing criminal records. Included are attachments to protocols containing lists of prisoners with brief data on sentences and decisions adopted by the Commission with regard to requests for pardon.

Physical Description: 372 reels

Scope and Contents note

This finding aid has been prepared for 370 microfilm reels of Fond R-8131. It contains 2,941 files of documents relating to the activities of the USSR Procurator's Office, 1924-1955
The Procurator's Office of the USSR Supreme Court was established by the Statute of the USSR Supreme Court, approved by the TsIK Decree of November 23, 1923. The procurator of the USSR Supreme Court and his deputy were appointed by the USSR TsIK Presidium.
The main responsibilities of the Procurator's Office included general surveillance over adherence to the law, judicial surveillance over the actions of the USSR OGPU, and general management of the Military Procurator's Office. Exercising general supervision, the Procurator's Office deliberated over the constitutionality of new laws and decrees adopted by the USSR government and the governments of union republics and over the legality of actions taken by governmental institutions. The USSR Procurator's Office submitted files to the Presidium of the USSR TsIK regarding instances of non-compliance of documents or actions with all-union laws. It was given the right to file protests against decisions of the USSR Supreme Court to the USSR TsIK and against decisions of the court's collegiums to plenary meetings of the USSR Supreme Court. With regard to court surveillance the Procurator's Office had the right to demand resolutions, decisions, and sentences of the supreme courts of union republics, subject to protest, to review them and submit them for further deliberations to the plenary meetings of the USSR Supreme Court. As part of its surveillance function it also requested for revision files from judicial institutions of the union republics after a decision in the case was made or the sentence passed.
The USSR Procurator had two assistants, one for surveillance over the OGPU and the other for surveillance over the Military Procurator's Office and the Military Collegium of the USSR Supreme Court. The assistants were approved by the USSR TsIK Presidium. The central apparatus of the Procurator's Office of the USSR Supreme Court was established in April 1924. Initially it consisted of the Department of General Surveillance, Department of Judicial Surveillance, Department of Surveillance over the OGPU, Department of the Military Procurator's Office, and General Department.
In January 1931, within the central apparatus of the Procurator's Office of the Supreme Court, the Main Procurator's Office for Transport was organized. Procurator's offices for transport were also established in the union republics (in accordance with the number of operating railways: seventeen in the Russian Federation, three in the Ukrainian SSR, one each in the Belorussian and the Uzbek SSRs and the Transcaucasian Soviet Federal Socialist Republic.)
The Department for Surveillance over the Correctional Labor Institutions was established in December 1932.
The USSR Procurator's Office was established by a June 20, 1930, resolution of the TsIK and the USSR Sovnarkom, replacing the Procurator's Office of the USSR Supreme Court. The USSR Procurator's Office was responsible for surveillance over adherence to the USSR Constitution, uniformity in application of the law, and lawfulness of the actions of the OGPU, militia, and the department of criminal investigation. It was entitled to file protests against bills issued by governing institutions and authorities, as well as against court indictments, and to demand files for revision at any stage of a judicial proceeding. The USSR Procurator was given the right to appoint and recall republican procurators, subject to the approval of the republican TSIK.
During World War II, 1941-1945, procurator's offices for transport and in the areas of martial law were militarized.
The USSR Procurator's Office in 1933-1953 included the following main departments: the Main Military Procurator's Office, the Main Procurator's Office for Transport (from 1940 on - Main Procurator's Office for Railway Transport), the Main Procurator's Office for Waterway Transport (from 1941 on - Main Procurator's Office for the River and Sea Fleet), the Department for Criminal Cases, the Court Department for Civil Cases, the Department of General Surveillance, the Department of Surveillance over Places of Confinement, the Department of Surveillance over Militia, the Department of Grievances, and the Department of Investigation.
The USSR Procurator's Office was abolished in 1992, and the RSFSR Procurator's Office became its legal successor.
For the Hoover Archives 2,941 files (out of 153,249) from twenty-nine (out of thirty seven) opisi for the years 1924-1955 have been microfilmed. Among the files included in the microfilming project 560 files were declassified and became available for research only in 1992. Selected records of this fond contain vast and diverse information about procuratorial surveillance and methods of establishing Soviet law and order, which during the Stalin era were clearly repressive. The structure and operation of the USSR Procurator's Office are documented in the planning, accounting, governance, and financial materials of the Central Apparatus of this institution. Exercise of general supervisory functions by the Department of General Surveillance is clearly seen in reports and protests submitted to higher governmental and party organs regarding violations of the law, the necessity to change or clarify governmental resolutions, unconstitutional orders, instructions, and decisions made by governmental and public institutions. Data on such activities of the Procurator's Office can also be found in comments and conclusions on proposed laws and bills. Among those, several cases relating to the development of a new reading of the USSR Criminal Code and Code of Criminal Procedure are of utmost interest.
Information about the activities of the USSR Procurator's Office in the area of judicial supervision can be found in conclusions on some cases and correspondence of the Department of Judicial Supervision with local procurator's offices re convicts' grievances. Materials of the Judicial Investigative Department, clarifications and instructions concerning application of the Criminal Procedural Code, including rules for arrest and imprisonment, terms for investigation, and release of individuals under investigation because of insufficient evidence can be found among documents of the Department of Judicial Investigation.
Information about multiple aspects of the work of local procurators and investigators can be found in reports, messages, memoranda, and statements issued by procurator's offices in republics, krais, and oblasts. The documents show that the Stalin penal policy was remarkably broad in scope, and as a consequence so too were the activities of the Procurator's Office. In addition to files on embezzlement and theft of state assets, criminal negligence, procrastination, prevarication, manufacture and sale of inferior goods, and other crimes and misdemeanors often designated as sabotage, procurators and investigators were involved in such cases as failure to comply with safety requirements, violation of labor discipline, departure from the collective farm code, violation of agreements with other organizations by collective farmers and individual peasants, refusal of young professionals to work at assigned jobs, etc. Most characteristic of the Stalin era are cases concerning sabotage in the "Stakhanovite movement" (those who followed the example of Aleksei Stakhanov, employing hard work or increased efficiency to over-achieve on the job by vastly over-fulfilling plan quotas, leading to resentment in other workers). The Procurator's Office was also responsible for managing campaigns for election to the USSR Supreme Soviet and local Soviets, for spring sowing and bread procurement, for labor duty imposed on the population, for fulfillment of governmental plans, for railway and waterway cargo shipping, and for measures to eliminate illiteracy.
The most important information on the history of the Gulag is contained in the materials of the Department for Surveillance over Correctional Labor Institutions, established in December 1932, including minutes of working meetings, plans for the Department's operations, reports, accounts, statements, personnel charts, statements regarding inspection of camps and colonies, and copies of orders for various camps. Documents in the collection also contain data about the situation in and activities of camps, about criminal proceedings against personnel of correctional labor institutions, about additional penalties imposed on inmates who committed new crimes while in the camp, and data about inmates' health.
Selected documents of opisi 1-29 are available on microfilm at the Hoover Archives. Russian-language finding aids available on microfilm are:
  • Opisi 1-27 on microfilm reel number 3.140;
  • Opisi 28, 30-33 on microfilm reel number 3.141;
  • Opis 29 does not have a finding aid.
A microfilm reel list that provides fond number, opis number, delo number, and corresponding microfilm reel number is available as an unpublished computer printout at the Hoover Archives
