Description
Scope and Content
The collection includes correspondence, manuscripts, memoirs, diaries, notes, subject
files, documents, photographs, and printed materials. Most of the material in the
collection concerns Nikolaev's tenure as military attachʹe at the Russian embassy in
Washington. Cataloged correspondents include Mikhail T. Florinsky and Geroid T.
Robinson. There is a typescript by Vasiliĭ O. Kli︠u︡chevskiĭ, "Kratkoe posobie po
russkoĭ istorii." Among the correspondence are cablegrams and official
communications to the Russian embassy during World War I and the revolutionary
period. Manuscripts, mostly by Nikolaev, concern contemporary and historical
military topics. Diaries and memoirs deal with Nikolaev's travels to Europe during
World War I and his activities as military attachʹe. Among orders granted to
Nikolaev is the "Order of the Sacred Treasure," signed and sealed by the Japanese
Emperor Meiji (1911). Printed materials include many articles by Nikolaev.
