A Brief Review Of Russian Archives In The Context Of Historical Studies Of The Republic Of Türkiye

Abstract

In order to effectively and efficiently utilize the Russian archives, which contain many documents that are the first source for research on the History of the Republic of Türkiye, it is important to have prior knowledge about these institutions, which operate in a very strict and disciplined working regime. In this context, the Russian State Archive of Economics (Rossiyskiy Gosudarstvennıy Arhiv Ekonomiki) RGAE - РГАЭ, the State Archive of the Russian Federation (Gosudarstvennıy Arhiv Rossiyskoy Federatsii) GARF - ГАРФ, located in the Moscow region and serving thousands of local and foreign researchers every year, Russian State Archive of Social and Political History (Rossiyskiy Gosudarstvenny Arhiv SotsialnoPolitiçeskoy Istorii) RGASPI - РГАСПИ, the Russian State Military Archive (Rossiyskiy Gosudarstvennıy Voyennıy Arhiv) RGVA - РГВА and the Russian State Archive of Film and Photographic Documents (Rossiyskiy Gosudarstvennıy Arhiv Kinofotodokumentov) RGAKFD - РГАКФД are discussed in this study. Essential details such as the funds owned by the relevant institutions, the qualifications of the document collections, the documents required to benefit from the reading rooms and the working hours are intended to benefit researchers, especially those who do not reside in Russia and have time limitations. Again, to increase the efficiency of the studies to be carried out in the reading rooms of the archives in question, links to some services that can be used online are also included in the content of the study. In particular, the documents in the funds of the Commissariats and Ministries of Foreign Trade of the RSFSR and the USSR and the State Committee of Science and Technology of the USSR attract attention because they reveal the development and change of the mutual trade and sciencetechnical cooperation of the Soviet Union with other countries, and enable the evaluation of the Turkish-Soviet economic cooperation processes realized especially during the Atatürk period and in the postStalin period from a different perspective.

There is no study that would require the approval of the Ethical Committee in this article.
