The People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs of the RSFSR (RSFSR NKVD) was established, among thirteen people's commissariats of the first Soviet government Council of People's Commissars (Sovnarkom), at the Second All-Russian Congress of Soviets, which took place in Petrograd on October 25-26 (November 7-8), 1917. For the first nine days the Commissariat was headed by A. Rykov, then, upon V. Lenin's proposal, G. Petrovskiĭ was appointed as people's commissar. The first NKVD collegium included F. Dzerzhinskiĭ, M. Uritskiĭ, I. Unshlikht, and M. Latsis-Sudrabs. A little later I. Pravdin, A. Smirnov, and S. Dukhovskiĭ joined the Collegium. These people organized the central apparatus of the RSFSR NKVD. Organizational work continued through the middle of 1918. By June 1918 the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs consisted of the following subdivisions: the Chancellery (later the Secretariat), consisting in its turn of three subdepartments and the retirement and economic divisions; the Department of Local Economy; the Department of Local Administration including the Militia Subdepartment; the Department of Compulsory Military Service; the Refugee Department; the Department of Health Care with Epidemic-Sanitary, Pharmaceutical, Health Care, and Statistics Subdepartments; the Finance, Veterinary, and Foreign Departments; the Press Bureau; and the Central Statistical Committee. On June 1, 1918, the Commission for Control and Revision was established within the RSFSR NKVD. Thus the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs operated as a multifunctional organization tightly connected to the internal life of the whole state. Later the responsibilities of the RSFSR NKVD would become narrower. The most important task of the RSFSR NKVD was the creation of local Soviets in guberniias and uezds. This task was managed by the Department of Local Administration. It developed and published various legislative and legal instruments, supervised the establishment of Soviets, and helped to organize their activities by sending to their localities instructors with discretionary power.

One of the most important responsibilities of the NKVD became the maintenance of public order. For that purpose a special division -- the Militia Directorate -- was created in the NKVD in August 1918 (from October 1918 on called the Main Militia Directorate). In February 1919, the Department of Railway Militia, and in April 1919, the Department of Waterway Militia were established within the Main Militia Directorate.

In April 1919 the Central Directorate for Forced Labor Camps, created in the fall of 1918 by the VChK, was transferred to the NKVD. After the RSFSR Sovnarkom transferred authority over all places of confinement to the NKVD system, in October 1922 the Main Directorate for Places of Confinement (GUMZ) was established within the NKVD. On July 12, 1920, the RSFSR Sovnarkom issued the Resolution On Concentration of Firefighting in the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs, thus adding the Central Firefighting Department to the NKVD structure.

In 1919 internal security troops were transferred to the authority of the NKVD. In October 1919 the Revvoensovet established the Military Council of Internal Security Troops headed by F. Dzerzhinskiĭ, who became People's Commissar of Internal Affairs on March 30, 1919. The system of institutions of internal affairs was finalized by the May 1922 Regulations for the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs of the RSFSR, which defined the structure of the Commissariat and the institutions of internal affairs as a whole, as well as their rights and responsibilities. By these regulations the RSFSR NKVD consisted of the Organizational Administrative Directorate, the Main Militia Directorate, the Main Directorate of Forced Labor (from October 1922 on called the Main Directorate of Places of Confinement), the Main Directorate for Population Evacuation, and the Main Directorate of Municipal Economy and the Administration of Affairs. From the beginning of 1922 to the end of 1923 the NKVD was also responsible for state security, and it included the State Political Directorate (GPU), successor of the VChK. In 1923 the United State Political Directorate (OGPU) was established under the SSSR Sovnarkom, and the RSFSR NKVD was relieved of this responsibility. In 1922 the Central Directorate for Evacuation was abolished.

A resolution of the RKP(b) XI Congress On Financial Policy required that some institutions of the government be financed from local budgets. From 1923 the Militia and Criminal Investigation Departments were financed from local budgets. At the same time the Main Militia Directorate of the RSFSR NKVD was abolished, and the Central Administrative Directorate (TsAU) was created instead. From the fall of 1924 the RSFSR NKVD was no longer responsible for confirmation or renunciation of nationality. In March 1927 new regulations for the RSFSR NKVD were adopted, and from that time on the RSFSR NKVD consisted of the General Administration, the Central Administrative Directorate, the Main Directorate for Places of Confinement, and the Main Directorate for Municipal Economy.

After the adoption of the USSR Constitution (1924), management of internal affairs was transferred to the authority of the union republics exclusively. People's commissariats of internal affairs were republican institutions and reported to the councils of people's commissars of the union republics. However, on the territory of a federal state many tasks relating to the maintenance of the social order of the whole state had to be achieved by the coordinated efforts of all the institutions of internal affairs. The primary institution for cooperation of the NKVD institutions of the union republics was the All-Union Conference of People's Commissars of Internal Affairs. At these conferences the commissars shared their experience in securing social order. Based on such cooperation, the foundation for a unified all-union system of internal affairs was created.

In the late 1920s establishment of a governing administrative command system started expanding. In the early 1930s a reform of the administrative-political system was conducted, pushing centralization of the system even further.

In December 1930 people's commissariats of the union republics were abolished. A mass campaign discrediting them preceded the abolition of the commissariats with the aim of transferring some divisions of the NKVD, such as the militia, criminal investigation, and places of confinement, to the authority of the OGPU. The People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs of the RSFSR was abolished on December 15, 1930. F. Dzerzhinskiĭ (from March 1919 through August 1923), A. Beloborodov (from August 1923 through November 1927), and V. Tolmachev (from January 1928 through December 1930) headed the RSFSR NKVD.

Documents of the RSFSR NKVD contain extensive data about the establishment and operation of the Soviet penal system from 1917 through 1930. The repressive policy of the young Soviet state is shown in the correspondence of the RSFSR NKVD with VChK, people's commissariats, and local Soviets in guberniias and uezds, in discussions regarding the political situation in various locations; measures for fighting counterrevolution, sabotage, and subversive activities; food appropriation and operations of food procurement teams; food and draft animal conscription; firing former officers of the White Army and military officials from Soviet enterprises; eviction of landowners from their mansions; confiscation of private property; contributions and taxes imposed on private businesses; and extraordinary and special taxes imposed on disfranchised individuals. Clarifications sent to local RSFSR NKVD offices concerning these subjects are contained in circulars and instructions from the Central Administrative Directorate of the NKVD.

Repression of the Russian Orthodox Church and other religious denominations promoted by the RSFSR NKVD is the topic of another important group of documents in this fond. The materials of the Subdepartment of Administrative Supervision of the Administrative Department contain many documents on wrecked and closed churches and mosques, confiscation of church property and assets, and transfer of religious items to museums. The correspondence of this subdepartment with local Soviets shows that a special permit from the authorities was demanded for religious ceremonies and that religious adherents were subject to mandatory registration. Data on registration of religious adherents arranged by guberniia can be found among the documents of the Statistics Bureau of the Administration of Affairs.

Comprehensive information relating to the early period of the Soviet penal system is contained in the materials of the Main Directorate of Forced Labor of the RSFSR NKVD (total of 335 files for the years from 1918 through 1925). The documents include copies of decrees, resolutions, instructions, and other governing materials issued by higher and central institutions in regard to the organization and operation of forced labor camps and other places of confinement; orders of the Main Directorate of Forced Labor; and reports of the Directorate chiefs about their activities. The day to day work of the Main Administration is reflected in correspondence with VChK executive committees in guberniias, extraordinary commissions, and camp commandants relating to the activities of camps and other places of confinement, assignment of prisoners to work, and clothing and food supplies for inmates. Detailed information about the situation in and operation of forced labor and concentration camps can be found in groups of documents delivered from the camps: camp orders, reports of subdepartments of forced labor in guberniias and of camp chiefs and commandants, and lists of concentration camp inmates. A comparison of inspection materials with reports from the same camps allows one to explore the credibility of the data reported by local authorities. Separate groups of records, fewer in number, contain statements and data about the economy of forced labor colonies, records of the work done in the places of confinement, and data about educational and instructional work among inmates.

Among the documents of the Main Militia Directorate the most important place belongs to reports and other messages and data from militia departments in republics, krais, oblasts, and guberniias relating to the struggle against bandits, suppression of the Kronshtadt uprising and other anti-Soviet actions, and to purges in the militia apparatus. The correspondence of the Main Militia Directorate with the OGPU people's commissariats of the RSFSR, executive committees in oblasts and guberniias, and militia and criminal investigation directorates in oblasts and guberniias contain data about the exile and placement of various individuals in concentration camps, about search and arrest warrants issued for use by the militia, about maintenance of detention houses, and about guards for inmates.

Documents of the Main (Central) Directorate of Criminal Investigation contain reports, accounts, statements, messages, and registers relating to the investigation of crimes, political and criminal in nature, lists of individuals subject to search and arrest, and catalog cards for individuals taken into custody by criminal investigation institutions. A considerable number of files contain lists of individuals registered by fingerprints by local departments of criminal investigation.

The materials of the Department of Statistics consist of statistical reports about the activities of the distribution and surveillance commission of the inspection of places of confinement in guberniias, about expenses incurred by places of confinement (arranged by guberniia and oblast), about the composition of inmates arranged by place of confinement in the Moskovskaia guberniia (1925), and about the participation of inmates in agricultural work. Documents of the Finance Department include estimates of expenses and income of the Main Directorate of Places of Confinement of the RSFSR NKVD, balances of special appropriations of the Main Directorate of Places of Confinement, correspondence with people's commissariats of the RSFSR and local executive committees about money appropriated for maintenance of places of confinement, estimate expenditure sheets and financial accounts of correctional labor places, detention houses and facilities, and inspections of places of confinement, comparison data of penal appropriations for correctional-labor units in guberniias and uezds, and lists of places of confinement subject to federal financing.

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.

This finding aid has been prepared for 59 microfilm reels of Fond R-5446. It contains documents relating to activities of the USSR Council of People's Commissar/Council of Ministers (Sovnarkom/Sovmin)1924-1953)

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.

All 286 files of opis 1 were microfilmed for the Hoover Institution. Several dozen similar cases from opis 2 were not included in this 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).

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.

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 Russian abbreviations for party/state organs and institutions are used. They are decoded in the glossary. A Russian-language finding aid for opis 1 is on microfilm reel number 3.328.

Scope and Contents note

This finding aid has been prepared for 58 microfilm reels of Fond R-8419. It contains 387 files of documents relating to the activities of the Moscow Society of the Political Red Cross, 1924-1955

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
