Scope and Content of Collection
The collection consists largely of material collected and created by Michael McFaul over the course of research on topics
related to political and economic conditions in the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia, and especially to the parliamentary
and presidential election campaigns of 1993 to 1999 and Soviet defense industry conversion. It is comprised of sound and video
recordings of interviews of Russian political leaders, printed matter, and miscellany.
The
Sound Recordings include unique oral history interviews of Russian leaders and statesmen, contemporary politicians, scientists and scholars,
as well as survey research conducted by Michael McFaul in Russia in 1991 to 2002, related to political, economic, and social
conditions in the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia. The sound recordings were arranged by McFaul in two groups: first by
a numbered segment created in 1991 to 1993, then alphabetically by speaker or organization name.
Video recordings consist of episodes of U.S. television programs and survey research in Russia on federalism, political parties, and elections.
Materials arranged chronologically by date of broadcast. The titles are taken from cassette labels.
The
Subject File contains collected research material relating to political issues in Russia. Materials include reports, memoranda, lists,
notes, clippings, pamphlets, reprints, leaflets, and election campaign literature, arranged alphabetically by subject.
The
Printed Matter series consists of Russian newspapers, journals, and brochures ranging across the political spectrum, arranged in two groups
by format.
