Annotation
The Russian State Military Archive contains some of the most important and sensitive documents relating to the early history of the Soviet state. Its holdings - some 2,000,000 documents in almost 33,000 record groups - document the years 1917 through 1941 for the Soviet military. This turbulent and profoundly interesting era saw numerous events that shaped the future of the USSA and the world: the end of World War I; the Soviet civil war and Allied intervention; nationalist uprisings on the Soviet periphery; the great debates about Soviet military doctrine and military reform in the 1920s; the technical transformation of the Red Army into one of the world's most formidable military powers; the Grate Purges; and the frantic initial years of World War II.
