DescriptionSummaryCorrespondence, manuscripts, documents, photographs, subject files and printed materials of Vorobchuk. There is one letter from Syngman Rhee. The correspondence dates from 1915 to 1963 and chiefly concerns emigre activities in China, where Vorobchuk lived after the 1917 revolution. Most of the manuscripts are by Vorobchuk himself and relate to the Russian emigre communities in the Far East, the dairy farms where he worked, and political affairs. Among the topics covered in the subject files are the Asia Cominform Bureau, Civil War activities of Generals Khorvat and Kutepov, and Vorubchuk's involvement in the murder of Ataman Dutov. There are several photographs of torture victims and starving children in the Far East. The printed materials include six folders of clippings.
