Soviet Archives Research Project

Soviet Archives Research Project


Under this project we are studying the Soviet state and party archives to gain a basic understanding of the way the Soviet economic, political, and social system worked. The project's research fields have been designed around the strengths of the Hoover Institution's archival holdings in areas such as forced labor, party regulation and audit, the archives of "The Communist Party on Trial," and others.
