Reviewing the Documents of I. A. Yakushev’s “Siberian Archives” from Collections of the State Archives of the Russian Federation on the Activities of White Russian Émigré Organisations in Countries of the Asia-Pacific Region in the 1920s-1930s

Abstract

The research aims to give a general description of the documents belonging to the editorial team of the documentary and commemorative collected volume “Siberian Archives” (edited by I. A. Yakushev) on the activities of White Russian émigré organisations in countries of the Asia-Pacific region in the 1920s-1930s. The identified materials and documents will make it possible to fill in the gaps in the history of social and political adaptation of White Russian émigré representatives, in particular in China. The defining role of publishing activities undertaken by the “Society of the Siberians” is characterised, the most popular émigré periodicals are noted. Scientific novelty of the research lies in carrying out a review and archival analysis and introducing into scientific use documents on the history of the White Russian émigré movement from collections of the “Russian Historical Archives Abroad”. As a result, it has been proved that in addition to cultural and educational activities, the editorial staff of the journal “Siberian Archives” took a direct part in social and political adaptation and provided material support to White Russian émigrés.
