Background
- Scope and content:
-
V. M. Perekrestenko was a journalist and writer who wrote primarily newspaper columns on current events for the émigré press. This collection contains drafts of these columns, as well as more substantial pieces, such as an unpublished novel entitled "Protoierei Andzhelko" and unpublished autobiographical works based on his experience in displaced persons' camps in post-World War Two Europe, entitled "Lageria" and "Na pereput'i." Also of interest is the subject file Soiuz russkikh pisatelei i zhurnalistov v Bel'gii, of which organization he was secretary.
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 Library & Archives. The original materials remain in the Museum of Russian Culture, San Francisco as its property. A transfer table indicating corresponding box and reel numbers is available at the Hoover Institution Library & Archives.
