This finding aid has been prepared for 465 microfilm reels of Fond R-8409. It contains 871 files of documents relating to the activities of the E.P. Peshkova society aiding political prisoners, 1922-1938
The Society was established after the Moscow Society of the Red Cross for aid to political prisoners (fond R-8419) was reregistered by a VTsIK resolution of June 12, 1922.
The Society aimed at aiding persons imprisoned for political reasons without regard to their party affiliation. Members of the Society visited places of confinement and provided prisoners with food, clothing and medical help. The Society was closed in mid-1937 by a directive of Nikolai Ezhov, People's Commissar of Internal Affairs.
E.P. Peshkova (wife of the writer Maksim Gorky) was the chair of the Society.
All files in this fond were microfilmed for the Hoover Archives.
Letters and petitions of prisoners and their family members make the largest part of the fond. They are organized in alphabetical order by name of prisoner through 1929 and by date thereafter. Lists of prisoners and correspondence of the Society with governmental institutions were also included in this collection. This fond also includes accounting and other documents relating to the activities of the Society.
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 territorial-administrative units of the USSR (raĭon, oblast, kraĭ) are transliterated from Russian.

The Moscow Red Cross Society, which rendered aid to political prisoners, was established in 1918. Its goal was aid to individuals imprisoned for political reasons, without regard to their political affiliation. For those purposes, places of confinement were visited, and food, medication, and clothes were sent to prisoners.
The Red Cross Society was governed by the general meeting of its members, the Council, and the Committee. The Society's Council was elected by a plenary meeting. The Presidium of the Council was elected by members from their ranks. The Committee convened annual plenary meetings, except for extraordinary ones, not later than in February. The Council held its meetings monthly. The Committee managed and governed all operations of the Society.
A VTsIK resolution of June 12, 1922 reregistered and renamed the Society as follows: E.P. Peshkova. Aid to Political Prisoners (Fond R-8409.)
Vera Figner was the Chair of the Red Cross Society.
For the Hoover Microfilm Project almost all files of this fond were microfilmed.
Lists, letters, and petitions of political prisoners and exiles make up the largest part of this fond. Organizational, accounting, and other documents of the Moscow Society of the Political Red Cross were also included in this fond.
A Russian-language finding aid for opis 1 can be found on microfilm reel number 3.329

Fond R-9412, The Department of Children’s Labor and Educational Colonies of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs, 1941-1960

Physical Description: 275 reels

Scope and Contents note

This finding aid has been prepared for 274 microfilm reels of Fond R-9412. It contains documents relating to activities of the Department of Children’s Labor and Educational Colonies of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs 1941-1960.
The Department of Children's Labor and Educational Colonies of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs has changed its name several times, as follows:
  • The USSR NKVD/MVD Department for Struggle against Child Homelessness and Neglect, 1943-1950
  • The USSR MVD Department of Children's Colonies, 1950-1953
  • Administration of Children's Colonies within the Main Directorate of Correctional Labor Camps and Colonies (Gulag) of the USSR Ministry of Justice, 1953-1954
  • The USSR MVD Department of Children's Labor and Educational Colonies, 1954-1960
The USSR NKVD Department for Struggle against Child Homelessness and Neglect was established by a USSR NKVD order of June 21, 1943. Departments (divisions) for struggle against child homelessness were established within the NKVD in union and autonomous republics, and within NKVD directorates in krais and oblasts. Labor colonies for minors and shelter-colony placement centers formerly under the Gulag of the USSR NKVD were transferred to these departments and divisions. In addition to managing labor and educational colonies for minors and shelter-colony placement centers, the department developed and conducted measures for the elimination of child homelessness and neglect, and managed job placement of minors who either were delivered to shelter-placement centers or had completed their term in colonies.
In March 1946, the Department for Struggle against Child Homelessness and Neglect was transferred to the USSR MVD. By the MVD order of December 25, 1950, its name was changed to the USSR MVD Department of Children's Colonies. Correspondingly, local MVD departments (divisions) were renamed, too.
In April 1953 the USSR MVD Department of Children's Colonies, local departments of children's colonies, children's colonies, and shelter-placement centers were transferred to the USSR Ministry of Justice; later they were included in the Gulag system of the USSR Ministry of Justice. The Special Directorate of Gulag Children's Colonies governed the educational work, vocational training, operation, and staffing of colonies. All other issues relating to the operation of children?s colonies, such as planning, production, medical and preventive health service, construction projects, finance, accounting, and reports, were distributed among appropriate departments of the Gulag.
Upon return of the Gulag to the MVD system in January 1954, management of children's colonies fell entirely into the hands of the newly established USSR MVD Department of Children's Labor and Educational Colonies. In February 1960 the Department was eliminated; all files were transferred to the First Special Department of the USSR MVD.
The documents of the USSR MVD Department of Children's Labor and Educational Colonies contain detailed data on operational routine, security, and staffing of children's colonies and shelter-placement centers. The documents also include data about production activities and vocational training, health and sanitary care, physical and sports training, and teaching in children's colonies, about visits of foreign delegations to colonies, and about job placement of minors released from the colonies.
The documents of the Department of Children's Labor and Educational Colonies of the USSR MVD became fully available to researchers in 1993. Opisi one and two consisting of 1122 files were microfilmed for the Hoover Archives in their entirety. Opisi 3, 4, and 5 were not included in the project.
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-9414, Main Administration of Places of Confinement of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs, 1930-1960

Physical Description: 900 reels

Scope and Contents note

This finding aid has been prepared for 900 microfilm reels of Fond R-9414. It contains documents relating to activities of the Main Administration of Places of Confinement under the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs1930-1960.
The Main Administration of Correctional Labor Camps and Colonies (Gulag) under the OGPU and the USSR MKVD/MVD was the central organ for management of places of confinement in the USSR from 1930 to 1960. It conducted general management of camp and colony operations, security, registration and placement of prisoners, management of economic and financial activities of places of confinement and provision of supplies.
Establishment of the Gulag was connected with use and management of prisoner labor in the USSR economy. Immense capital work to turning the USSR into a country with developed industry required a huge number of laborers. Altering the economic situation in the country became the basis for transforming places of confinement. It was decided by the USSR party and state authorities that correctional labor camps should become the main source of the labor force; their economic activities were expected to be self-sufficient. Correctional labor camps and colonies were built in distant and uninhabited regions. The TsK VKP(b) resolution on the massive use of criminal prisoner labor became law by the USSR Sovnarkom resolution adopted in July 1929. The first correctional labor camps were established at the end of 1929. By January 1, 1930, there were already four camps inhabited by 95,064 prisoners. To manage these camps the Administration of Camps (Gulag) was created within the OGPU in April 1930; it was later reorganized as the Main Administration of Camps (Gulag) under the USSR Sovnarkom. By January 1, 1931, the Gulag managed seven camps with 212,000 prisoners, many of them (72,000) in the Solovetskie and Karelo-Murmanskie camps. In the course of its existence the Main Administration of Camps was reorganized and renamed several times. In 1933 special and labor settlements for former "kulaks" (wealthy peasants) were transferred to the Gulag authority, and the Gulag became the Main Administration of Correctional Labor Camps and Labor Settlements. In July 1934, with the same name, it was transferred to the authority of the USSR NKVD. By the USSR Sovnarkom and TsIK joint resolution of October 27, 1934, all places of confinement were transferred to the Gulag authority and remained there until February 1939, when all prisons were transferred to another authority. In 1941 the NKVD was divided into two commissariats, NKVD and NKGB. Then many Gulag industrial divisions became USSR NKVD directorates and main directorates, like the Main Directorate of Hydroelectric Constructions, Main Directorate of Industrial Construction, etc. The Gulag retained the following responsibilities: registration and placement of prisoners, management of operations, security, guarding, food and clothing supply, and use of prisoner labor. In 1954 the Gulag was returned to MVD authority and in 1956 reorganized as the Main Administration of Correctional Labor Colonies (GUITK). At this time reduction in the number of camps began. On March 27, 1959, GUITK was reorganized as the Main Administration of Places of Confinement (GUMZ) under the USSR MVD. GUMZ was liquidated, along with the USSR MVD, in March 1960.
The materials of Fond 9414 held in the State Archives of the Russian Federation are well-preserved and comprehensively cover GUMZ activities. For the Hoover microfilm collection 5,367 files ( opisi 1, 1a, 2, 3, 3a, and 4) out of a total of 7,615 files held in GARF were microfilmed.
Opisi 1, 1a, and 2 include materials from: the Gulag Secretariat; Department of Control and Inspection; Organizational Department; Personnel Department; Department of Registration and Placement of Prisoners; Special Department; Cultural and Educational Department Scientific-Research Department; Hydroengineering Department; Department of Railway Construction; Department of Security Inspection and Legal Issues; Department of General Supplies; Department of Special Labor Settlements; Department of Security and Security Guards; Sanitary and Health Department; Planning Department; Finance Department; Archives, Department of Organizational and Legal Work; Department of Convoy and Penitentiary Security; Department of Special Labor Settlements; Production Directorates; Department of Labor Colonies for Minors, and other departments.
Records of the Secretariat, Department of Registration and Placement of Prisoners, Department/Directorate of Convoy and Security, and Department of Special Settlements are the most complete. The most interesting documents within them include orders of Gulag chiefs, memoranda and dispatches from Gulag leaders to people's commissar/minister of internal affairs, correspondence of the Gulag with the TsK VKP(b), TsK KPSS, Sovnarkom, USSR and RSFSR councils of ministers, Prosecutor's Office, USSR and RSFSR Supreme Courts, and Gulag local authorities, production and financial plans, and consolidated statistical reports.
Opisi 3, 3a and 4 include records of the Gulag Political Department. They contain directives relating to political and educational work and work with Komsomol members in correctional labor camps; memoranda from the Political Department to the TsK VKP(b), TsK KPSS and TsK VLKSM; reports, memoranda, verbatim records of chiefs of party offices and editors of large-circulation newspapers, minutes of party conferences and meetings of party activists from various correction labor camps and construction sites.
Russian-language finding aids for opisi 1-7 and 9 are on microfilm reel number 3.333. An English-language descriptive list of opisi, files, and the corresponding microfilm reel number is available below.
This finding aid is arranged by original file number (second row of each entry), with reference to the corresponding microfilm reel number (fist row). If a group of files is united by one description only the first file is presented in numerical order. Names of republics are spelled in compliance with the Library of Congress Authority File.

The USSR Supreme Court, the highest judicial institution in the USSR, was established by the USSR First Congress of Soviets on December 30, 1922. The USSR Constitution defined the structure of the Supreme Court as follows:
  • a) Plenary Session of the USSR Supreme Court,
  • b) Civil Court and Criminal Court Collegiums of the USSR Supreme Court, and
  • c) Military and Military Transport Collegiums.
The first Plenary Session of the USSR Supreme Court took place on April 18, 1924.
The main responsibilities of the USSR Supreme Court included general supervision of adherence to legality; interpretation and explanation of all-Union laws; deliberation over resolutions, decisions, and sentences rendered by supreme courts of union republics and appeals against them in the exercise of court supervision; arbitration in disputes among union republics; generalization of court practice and analyses of court statistics; and investigation of criminal and civil files of extreme importance.
The USSR Supreme Soviet included the following structural units: Plenum, Scientific Consultative Council, Administration of Affairs (consisting of the Chancellery, Administrative and Financial Directorate, and Reception Office), Translation Bureau, departments and collegiums. The court collegiums were the most important structural divisions within the Supreme Court; they oversaw the immediate practical operations of the USSR Supreme Court. The Court collegiums investigated and, upon referral of the USSR Supreme Court Procurator, filed appeals of resolutions and sentences adopted by the supreme courts of the union republics. The Military Collegium operated as a part of the USSR Supreme Court as long as the Supreme Court existed. It managed the operations of all courts-martial by giving them governing instructions, issuing circular letters, reviewing their activities and instructing them on all issues of court practice.
The Court Collegium for Civil Cases, being a part of the USSR Supreme Court from 1928 through 1990, acted as the court of original jurisdiction in civil cases of extreme importance. The Supreme Court, in its capacity as a supervising institution, reviewed appeals of decisions of the USSR Supreme Court Chair and Procurator General and sentences, judgments, and court decisions of the supreme courts of the union republics. The Criminal Court Collegium functioned in 1927-1991 in a similar way with regard to criminal cases.
The Military Transportation Collegium operated within the Supreme Court from 1924 through 1926. When it was abolished the cases under its authority were transferred to the Criminal Court Collegium of the USSR Supreme Court. The Military Transportation Collegium was responsible for hearing the most important criminal cases and legal proceedings against high authorities of the USSR People's Commissariat of Transport.
To strengthen the struggle against crime related to transport, railway courts were established on November 27, 1930. Management and supervision of appeals in cases in the railway courts' jurisdiction were conducted by the Collegium for Transport Issues established within the USSR Supreme Court in 1930. (From 1932 on it was called the Transport Collegium.) In 1942 the Transport Collegium was reorganized as the Military Transport Collegium, and in 1947 it became the Railway Collegium. The Collegium investigated crimes committed on water and railway transport. In 1957 the Transport Collegium was abolished.
The Waterway Transport Collegium of the USSR Supreme Court was established in 1934. In addition to investigating the most important criminal cases it also reviewed appeals of sentences rendered by subordinate courts. Crimes against the state, violation of the labor code, delays in loading and unloading ships, and other actions resulting in the detention of ships or violations of shipping rules, theft of water transport property or cargo, and crimes committed on waterway transport were within the jurisdiction of these courts. In 1942 the Waterway Transport Collegium was reorganized into the Military Waterway Transport Collegium; in 1947 it again became the Waterway Transport Collegium; and in 1953 it was merged with the Railway Collegium to become the Transport Collegium.
A resolution of the USSR TsIK Presidium of June 3, 1931, established the surveillance "troĭka" (three-member commission) to facilitate the trial of court cases against which protests were lodged by the court collegiums of the USSR Supreme Court. The surveillance "troĭka" consisted of the Chair of the USSR Supreme Court and his two deputies or two chairs of court collegiums of the USSR Supreme Court and the Procurator of the USSR Supreme Court. In 1934 the surveillance "troĭka" was reorganized as the Court Surveillance Collegium of the USSR Supreme Court and consisted of the Supreme Court Chair and his two deputies. The Collegium reviewed appeals of resolutions of plenums and presidiums of union republic supreme courts and decisions of the Court Collegiums of the USSR Supreme Court. The Court Surveillance Collegium was abolished in 1938.
The Special Collegium of the Supreme Court was established in July 1934; it absorbed the responsibilities of the abolished OGPU Court Collegium, which had the right to bring charges against counter-revolutionaries, spies, and terrorists. The Special Collegium was abolished in 1938.
The Court Collegium for Labor Camp Courts was established within the Supreme Court by the Decree of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviets of December 30, 1944. This Collegium was responsible for reviewing cases in which appeals had been lodged and for supervising other cases. The Collegium was abolished in 1954.
From 1924 through 1933 the USSR Procurator's Office was subordinate to the USSR Supreme Court. From September 1949 through February 1957 the Bureau operated under the USSR Supreme Court. It deliberated over preliminary draft resolutions of the USSR Supreme Court Plenum and received reports regarding the work of court collegiums and departments of the USSR Supreme Court. The USSR Supreme Court was abolished on January 2, 1992 by the resolution of the Presidium of the RSFSR Supreme Soviet of December 28, 1991.
330 files ( opis 16) of the Secret Division of the USSR Supreme Soviet were microfilmed for the Hoover Archives. The documents in these files relate to the activities of all divisions and departments of the USSR Supreme Court.
The documents included in the microfilming project are characteristic of court operation and supervision and organizational activities of the USSR Supreme Court and its collegiums. With regard to the studies of the Gulag the most interesting materials include documents relating to the preparation of resolutions of the USSR Supreme Court Presidium on court practice in anti-Soviet agitation cases (1954), minutes of the USSR Supreme Court and other documents relating to release on parole, correspondence with supreme courts of union republics regarding revision of the legal substantiation of individual convictions, and correspondence with special courts regarding court issues and statistical data.
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. The Russian abbreviations for party/state organs and institutions are used. They are decoded in the glossary.

The OGPU or USSR NKVD/MVD had a division for managing special settlers and special settlements. Its status was defined and name changed many times as follows:
  • The Department of Special Settlers of the OGPU Gulag, 1931-1934
  • The Department of Special Migrants of the USSR NKVD Gulag, 1934-1940

Selected records of this fond include resolutions of the USSR Central Executive Committee (TsIK), USSR Council of People's Commissars (Sovnarkom), and the Council of Labor and Defense of the USSR and RSFSR and circulars, instructions, and regulations issued by the Gulag, people's commissariats, and other agencies. The documents regard the mass expulsion of peasants from their homes during collectivization, as well as forced resettlement of individuals of different ethnic origin, before and during World War II. The documents also record the establishment of special settlements and control over them. A large group of records includes memoranda, presentations, and informational material issued by the USSR NKVD/MVD and the chief of the Gulag addressed to the TsK VKP(b), Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet, USSR Council of People's Commissars/Council of Ministers, RSFSR Council of Ministers, and USSR Council of Labor and Defense, relating to the use of settlers' labor; economic arrangements and everyday life of special settlers; MVD/MVD directorates' activities in special settlements; statements and statistical data re labor settlements of the USSR NKVD Gulag; the number and transfer of special settlers among settlements and use of their labor; and the location of settlements by republic, kraĭ and oblast.
Among the most important documents are the regulations for special settlements and labor placement of osadniki (the Polish word for veterans of the Polish Army who were given land in the territory of then Western Belorussia and Western Ukraine, which was ceded to Poland by the Polish-Soviet Riga Peace Treaty of 1921 and again occupied by the Soviet Union in 1939) expelled from Western areas in Ukraine and Belorussia; statements, surveys, and other documents re forced resettlement of Poles, Germans, Chechens, and groups of other peoples in 1930-1940, as well as materials relating to development of various regulations and the statute on special settlements, expulsion, exile, and special commandant offices of the USSR MVD in 1950-1958.
The documents of the Fourth Special Department of the USSR MVD became available to researchers in the 1990s. Most of the files (446) from opis one were microfilmed for the Hoover Archives.
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 territorial-administrative 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 reel 3.5985

Scope and Contents note

Documents of opisi 1A and 2-5 are available on microfilm in the Hoover Archives. Russian-language finding aids for opisi 1 and 8 are on microfilm reel number 3.159; Russian-language finding aids for the other opisi do not exist. A microfilm reel list that provides fond number, opis number, dela number, and corresponding microfilm reel number is available as an unpublished computer printout at the Hoover Archives
For the Hoover Institution microfilm project 2267 files (out of 12695) from five (out of thirteen) opisi for the years from 1936 through 1956 were selected. This finding aid has been prepared for 421 microfilm reels of Fond R-9492. It contains files of documents relating to the activities of the People's Commissariat of Justice/USSR Ministry of Justice, 1936-1956
The USSR People's Commissariat of Justice (Narkomiust) was established by a USSR TsIK and Sovnarkom resolution of July 10, 1936. The Regulations for the People's Commissariat of Justice approved on December 8, 1936, by the USSR TsIK and Sovnarkom, assigned the following responsibilities to the Narkomiust: to establish and supervise judicial institutions; to manage and supervise defense lawyers' professional organizations and provide legal aid to the population; to supervise notaries' operations and the system of law schools; to codify and systematize legislation and to organize court statistics; and to supervise publication of legal literature.
Structurally the Narkomiust was organized to fulfill the aforementioned functions until they were changed by the new Regulations approved by the Sovnarkom on July 15, 1939. Under the new Regulations the Administration of Special Courts was divided into the Administration of Military Tribunals and the Department of Railway and Waterway Transport Line Courts. During World War II they were reorganized into the Main Directorate of Military Tribunals of the Red Army and Military Sea Fleet and the Directorate of Military Tribunals for Transport. In 1944 the Directorate of Camp Courts was established within the Narkomiust. In 1946 the People's Commissariat of Justice was reorganized and became the USSR Ministry of Justice. In 1947 the Main Directorate of Military Tribunals for Railway and Waterway Transport was established within the USSR Ministry of Justice.
Resolution No. 909 of the USSR Council of Ministers approved the following subdivisions of the USSR Ministry of Justice: the Main Administration of Civil Court Institutions, the Main Administration of Military Tribunals, the Main Administration of Military Tribunals for Transport, the Administration of Camp Courts, the Administration of Defense Lawyers, the Personnel Administration, the Administration of Educational Institutions, the Notaries' Department, the Statistics Department, the Claim Department, the Department of Finance, the Main Accountant's Office, the Academic Methodological Department, the Inspectorate Attached to the Minister, the Chancellery of the Ministry, and the Economic Administration. On April 2, 1953, the Main Administration of Correctional Labor Camps and Colonies and the Department of Children's Colonies were transferred from the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Ministry of Justice.
By a resolution of the TsK KPSS and USSR Council of Ministers of May 30, 1956, the USSR Ministry of Justice was abolished and its functions were divided among the Legal Commission of the USSR Council of Ministers and the ministries of justice of the union republics. For the Hoover microfilming project all files of opisi 1A and 3, 127 files of opis 2, 927 files of opis 4, and 225 files of opis 5, i.e. most of the files from these opisi, were microfilmed. Only files containing personal data of the USSR Narkomiust/Miniust were not included in this project.
Documents selected for this project mainly consist of governing and directive materials issued by higher governmental and party organs. They were distributed as circulars or directed to the USSR Narkomiust/Miniust only for informational and governing purposes. The materials include reports, accounts, and surveys from courts and local directorates of the USSR Miniust; statistical documents are mainly in opis 3. Opis 4 includes documents relating to activities of transport line courts (military tribunals for railway and waterway transport in the years of World War II) and of relevant administrations and main administrations of the USSR Narkomiust/Miniust, as well as materials relating to activities of the Railway and Waterway Transport and Military collegiums of the USSR Supreme Court. Opis 5 contains materials of the Administration of Camp Courts of the USSR Narkomiust/Miniust concerning the work of and inspection of the work of courts in correctional labor camps and colonies of the USSR NKVD/MVD and in union republics. This opis also includes part of the documents relating to the activities of the Main Directorate of Correctional Labor Camps and Colonies from April 2, 1953 through January 28, 1954, while this Directorate was within the USSR Miniust. Also included in this opis are documents about amnesty resulting from the Order of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet of March 27, 1953.
For studies of State terror the most interesting documents are those organized by specific subjects, including statistical surveys of the number of prosecuted individuals revealing the actions of judicial institutions aimed at fulfillment of the infamous decrees of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet, in particular the June 26, 1940 Decree regarding penalty for voluntary withdrawal from work or unauthorized quitting of jobs. Of certain interest for studies of the institutional basis of the Soviet system of justice are general conclusions on judicial practice in civil and criminal cases. They create a more complete picture of crime in the USSR and methods of controlling it, methods which often contradicted Soviet law and were mostly governed by extraordinary legislative instruments.
