Biographical Note
Eugene Magerovsky was a Russian-American historian, Slavic studies scholar, and U.S. military intelligence officer whose father,
Lev Florianovich Magerovsky, was a prominent Russian émigré.
Scope and Content of Collection
This collection contains audiotapes and archival documents, including biographical information, clipping files, materials
on Russian émigré life in Czechoslovakia, Germany, and the United States and on the establishment of Russian studies programs
at colleges and in the U.S. Army, correspondence, photographs, subject files on the Russian Imperial Army, the identification
of the Romanov remains, the Russian Orthodox Church abroad, anticommunist organizations, as well as his writings, and articles
and manuscripts written by others. One gem is a 1914 list of Russian general staff officers (the only copy outside Russia).
There is also an unpublished illustrated memoir by General Mikhail Svechin, a Guards officer, telling of his service in the
Russian Imperial Army.
Of particular interest in the increment are the files concerning L. F. Magerovsky's activities in interwar Czechoslovakia
and then in the United States. Also important are the manuscript memoirs of the evacuation of Novorossiisk in 1920, during
the Russian civil war, and the diary of Nikolai Zakharov describing the actions of the III Caucasus Corps during the First
World War.
