Scope and Content of Collection
These papers contain the correspondence and writings of Sviatoslav V. Denisov, major general in the Don Cossack Army and participant
in the Don Cossack uprising of 1918. In emigration, Denisov was chair of the Cossack Union in the United States, and an active
member of various Cossack organizations, especially the All-Cossack Union.
The Correspondence file includes extensive correspondence with leading Russian émigré military and social leaders, providing
a rich source of information on the activities of Cossack activities in the diaspora.
Denisov's Speeches and writings consist mainly of materials relating to his history of the White Army,
Belyi Al'bom, as well as research materials and articles on Cossack history.
The Subject file includes materials on the history of the Don Cossacks, the White Army, as well as Russian émigré organizations.
Particularly important are the documents dating from 1917 onwards relating to the Don Cossack Army. Of special significance
are the materials relating to the All-Cossack Union in the United States, as well as documents relating to the Don Cossack
ataman elections.
Printed matter includes appeals and circulars from the civil war period, 1919-1920, published in territories occupied by the
White Army,
Soobshcheniia Donskoi Armii (1919), issues of
Vol'naia kuban', and
Velikaia Rossiia.
