Series II: Printed material

The Research Program on the USSR published two sets of manuscripts, selected from among the approximately 400 manuscripts commissioned by the program. These were the so-called "Mimeographed Series" of article-length manuscripts (Subseries II.1) and a smaller series of book-length works (Subseries II.2). The titles of these publications were translated into English regardless of the language of the text, which was usually Russian. The collection does not include all of the original manuscripts published by the RP-USSR. It is also lacking several printed items from the Mimeographed Series: numbers 5, 6, 11, and 19.
