Biography
A. M. Naidenov was born in Moscow on 30 June 1896. After graduation from the Moscow Commercial Institute in 1917, he worked
in the Soviet Union as an economist in various organizations, including "Azneft'" and the People's
Commissariat of Light Industry of the Azerbaidzhan S.S.R., where he was a planner for ten years. This experience led him to
author a study entitled Administration of Azerbaijani Industry, published by the Research Studies Institute of the Air University
in 1952.
Escaping the USSR during the Second World War (1944), he moved to the United States in 1949, working as a draftsman in New
York in addition to engaging in anti-Communist activities as a journalist and an announcer for the Voice of America. Most
of his writings and correspondence are concerned with problems of anti-communism. Naidenov died in San Francisco in September
1972.
Scope and Content Note
This collection contains materials relating mainly to the anti-Communist activities of A. M. Naidenov, an émigré from the
Soviet Union. The biographical file reflects his campaign to acquire U. S. citizenship. The correspondence and his main written
work, "What Is the Communist Threat?," reflect his views on the international political situation and the struggle against
Communism.
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 the 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.
