Abstract
The article deals with the activity of Russian historians–archivists directed to the detection, study and publication of the documents of Foreign archival Rossica in the post–Soviet period (1992–2017). The paper analyses the content of the archival heritage research of the Russian Diaspora, the geographical dispersion by world regions and countries of the documentary sources of Russian origin published by Russian researchers. The author’s analysis, connected with the use of archival documents in Russian periodicals publications, allows him to come to the conclusion that the archives of Europe (63.8%) and America (29%) are more frequently used.
The article gives a detailed review of the activity of VNIIDAD related to the detection and study of Foreign archival Rossica, of the main publications on this topic of the fellows of the Institute.
The author notes that the study of the archival heritage of the Russian Diaspora makes it possible to reconstruct with a greater degree of authenticity the integral history of the Russia of the 20th century, which is important for the formation of modern national identity and the creation of a civil society.
The author of the article draws a conclusion about the necessity for the creation of an inter-archives reference-book on Foreign archival Rossica which can help researchers to navigate in the diverse documentary heritage of Russia Abroad.
