The author discusses life in the Soviet Union in 1939-1941 and his experiences in the Red Army in 1942-1943. The memoirs end with his desertion from the Red Army after reading a "vlasovskai︠a︡ listovka" (Vlasov leaflet).

Collection includes Kugusheva's memoirs, discussing her family and youth; excerpts from her diaries, touching on in particular Vladivostok in 1920; transcription of the memories of Vera Al'tovskaia about Alesha Prokof'ev, a revolutionary; manuscripts about the banker Vladimir Isakovich; and a copy of a letter from Kugusheva to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, offering to help in his research.

The collection includes Romanovich's memoirs (15 p.) concerning the period 1914-1920, mostly focusing on her activities in the Don region during the Civil War. There are also two typescript poems by Romanovich.

Included are Bogrova's manuscript memoirs, which deal with such topics as her childhood, the Bogrov family, the Russian revolutionary movement, and the "Jewish Question" in Russia (the memoirs are also available on microfilm MN#: 2003-7005). There are also three documents relating to Grigorii Grigor'evich Bogrov, Bogrova's father-in-law and the father of Dmitrii Bogrov.

The typescript memoirs "Vospominaniia: Zhizn' i rabota v Khudozhestvennom Teatre" discuss her childhood, education, theatrical career, personal life, the 1917 Revolution and the Civil War, and the emigration in Germany in the 1920s. Persons appearing more or less briefly in the memoirs include Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko, Konstantin Stanislavskii-Alekseev, Sergei Diagilev, Savva Morozov, Mstislav Dobuzhinskii, and Ol'ga Knipper. However, the memoirs are chiefly personal in nature, and provide relatively little information on Pavlova's theatrical career or the Khudozhestvennyi Teatr in particular. A sizeable part concerns the period of the Civil War and its immediate aftermath (1918-22) in the Ukraine and the Crimea.
