Collection consists of correspondence, writings and printed materials pertaining primarily to the activities of the Eurasianists - a political movement in the Russian emigre community in the 1920s. Suvchinskii was one of the key leaders of the movement, along with Prince Nikolai Trubetzkoy, P.N. Savitsky, D. S. Mirsky, S. Efron, and, initially, philosopher Georges Florovsky. Eurasianism (known in Russian as "evraziistvo") posited that Russian civilization does not belong in the "European" category, and that the Soviet regime was capable of evolving into a new national, non-European Orthodox Christian government, shedding the initial mask of proletarian internationalism and militant atheism (which the Eurasianists were strongly opposed to). The collection includes correspondence and a number of the movement's publications.
