Russian Military Intelligence on Asia
IDC offers two collections of Russian military intelligence on Asia, namely the Archive Series and the Secret Prints. Together, they comprise a wealth of hitherto virtually unknown data about Asia that were gathered before the 20th century by explorers, military attachés, diplomats, academics, and others. The importance of these materials is hard to exaggerate: They will be invaluable to scholars who are interested in both Imperial Russia and the Asian continent. Until very recently, the pre-revolutionary general staff’s vast Asian holdings remained largely off-limits to scholars. Now, for the first time, IDC is making the more significant archival collections available to research libraries on microfilm and fiche, as well as part of its new Digital Library.
