Records of the Harvard University Russian Research Center's Project on the Soviet Social System. This project interviewed Soviet emigres on a broad range of topics. The records consist of mimeographed typescripts of these interviews. They are divided into two major categories: "personal life history documents" (A schedules); and interviews on economics, family, government, nationalities, wartime occupations, partisan movements, professions, and stratification. There are also clinical interviews, copies of questionnaires, and an interviewer's guide.
You will need to make an appointment in advance to use this collection material in the Rare Book and Manuscript Library reading room. You can schedule an appointment once you've submitted your request through your Special Collections Research Account.
