Six 22-cm notebooks with newspaper clippings of communiqués by the Staff of The Supreme Commander–in–Chief of the Imperial Russian Army (Stavka), issued by the office of the Quartermaster General. Besides communiqués, the notebooks also include clippings of additional newspaper articles that are not direct communications from the Staff.

Some of these volumes show library call numbers they were once assigned. Probably, they were placed into an archival box because of their delicate condition. Handwritten dates on the pages onto which the clippings are glued apparently indicate the days on which the communiqués appeared in the press.

One folder entitled Osnovnyia direktivy i direktivnyia ukazaniia Verkhovnago Glavnokomanduiushchago i zhurnaly soveshchanii (July 14, 1914—August 9, 1915).

Contains typed, verified copies of directives of the Supreme Commander–in–Chief of the Imperial Russian Army. These directives were issued by the Chief of Staff of the General Headquarters of the Imperial Russian Army, General Nikolai Ianushkevich, in the form of telegrams or letters to military commanders, including General Iakov Zhilinskii, General-A. Mikhail Alekseev, Adjutant General Ivan Ivanov, Adjutant General Ivanov, Adjutant General Nikolai Ruzskii.

At the beginning of the folder, there is an inventory listing every single document, incl. date, title, author, and addressee (total number of documents: 177). Almost all documents are copies of telegrams, very few are copies of letters. The typical length of telegrams is rather that of a letter. Some of the telegrams have attachments in the form of multi-page reports.
