Abstract

The article looks at the records of the U.S. Department of State posts in revolutionary Russia. Department personnel destroyed or abandoned some records as the U.S. withdrew its diplomatic and consular representation from Russia during the five years after the Bolshevik seizure of power in November 1917. Also mentioned are evidence of the interest of the department in the files of Russian embassy and consular offices. The National Archives received surviving Russian files in February 1938.
