Scope and Content of Collection
The Nadia Shapiro papers consist of material related to the life and work of the Russian-American writer and journalist Nadezhda
Lazarevna Shapiro.
The collection includes correspondence, writings, pamphlets, clippings, stories, essays, sketches, other printed matter, photographs,
and other pictorial materials relating to the Russian Civil War in Siberia, and to Russian émigré life in China and the United
States. There is also material relating to her U.S. government service during World War II.
Nadia Shapiro was a freelance writer, and also worked as a staff feature writer for the
San Francisco Examiner,
San Francisco Chronicle,
Los Angeles Times (Sunday Magazine),
Christian Science Monitor, and Russian language publications in the United States. Most of her writing in English was done under the pen name of "Nadia
Lavrova" or "NL," while in Russian she signed her works as "Nadezhda Lavrova."
Nadia Shapiro devoted a major part of her spare time to literary activities without, however, submitting anything for publication,
which she justified as due to the peculiar nature of her confidential work with different federal agencies. She gathered a
great variety of notes and drafts of sketches, stories, essays, and book and chapter outlines –- all in preparation for the
later processing of some of this material into stories and books.
The collection includes a wealth of romantic short stories. A few of them were published during Shapiro's freelancing and
news writing days. Considering her Russian origin, there are also notes for an autobiographical narrative "My Old Home Town
Was Blagoveschensk," which covers the Russian Civil War and the trial of the Socialist Revolutionary A. N. Alekseevskii in
1918.
The Hoover Institution Library & Archives acquired the Nadia Shapiro papers in 1990.
