Scope and Content of Collection
These papers consist primarily of materials collected by Vladimir Konkordovich Abdank-Kossovskii for the exhibit "Zarubezhnaia
Rus'," which chronicled the fate and life of Russian émigrés beginning in 1916 up to 1961.
Vladimir Konkordovich Abdank-Kossovskii was a graduate of the Lazarevskii institut vostochnykh iazykov, the Aleksandrovskoe
voennoe uchilishche, the Ofitserskaia elektrotekhnicheskaia shkola, and the Istoriko-filologichskii fakul'tet Novorossiiskii
University.
Within the Zarubezhnaia Rus' File, the chronological file includes clippings, original documents, photographs, and print materials,
providing information on the Russian diaspora in different countries, arranged by V. K. Abdank-Kossovskii himself, and pasted
to album sheets. These materials were exhibited by Abdank-Kossovskii regularly in Paris. The subject file of the Zarubezhnaia
Rus' File includes materials prepared by Abdank-Kossovskii for inclusion in the "Zarubezhnaia Rus'" exhibit, but categorized
only by subject and not pasted for exhibit. These papers focus on all aspects of émigré existence, including Russian military
and veteran organizations, Russian Orthodoxy, cultural, political and social organizations, literary life, and performing
arts.
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 Holy Trinity Seminary. The grant also
provides depositing a microfilm copy in the Hoover Institution Archives. The original materials remain in the Holy Trinity
Seminary Archives as its property. A transfer table indicating corresponding box and reel numbers is appended to this register.
Any views, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in these materials do not necessarily represent those of the
National Endowment for the Humanities.
The collection is organized into eight series: Biographical file, Correspondence, Speeches and writings, Zarubezhnaia Rus'
File, Photographs, Oversize file, Subject file, and Printed matter
