Background

Scope and content:

This collection contains correspondence, communiques, financial records, reports, and printed matter, relating to Greco-Russian relations, the Balkan War of 1912-1913, the Russian Revolution, Russian refugees, and the Russian Orthodox Church. Includes consular records from Turkey and the Balkans. Also includes memorabilia and photographs.

Biographical / historical:

The Russia. Missiia (Greece) Collection documents the activities of the Russian Mission in Athens, Russian consulates, and Russian refugee organizations in Balkan countries and in Turkey from 1874 until 1925. The Russian Mission and consulates represented the Russian Imperial Government until the February Revolution of 1917 and the Russian Provisional Government thereafter. The mission and consulates continued to be considered representatives of the Russian Provisional Government even after the latter was overthrown by the Bolsheviks in October 1917. They were closed by March 1924 when Greece recognized the USSR.

Some time between 1925 and 1933, the records of the Russian Mission in Greece were apparently sent to Sergei Uget, Financial Agent and Custodian of Russian Government Property in the United States, whose responsibilities included preservation of the archives of the Russian Imperial and Provisional government agencies in this country. In 1933 Uget sent about 400 boxes of documents to the Hoover Institution. The records of the Russian Mission in Greece were a part, about 15%, of the shipment. However, the correspondence between Uget and the Hoover Institution, which was not very specific on the content of the shipment, failed to mention the records of the Russian Mission in Greece. A detailed description of the shipment contents seemed unnecessary at that time. In accordance with the agreement between the parties the documents were closed to researchers for 30 years. The whole shipment was assumed to be records of the Russian Embassy in Washington. The records of the Russian Mission in Greece were not identified and organized as a separate collection until 1984.
