Library of Congress Resources on Greeks in the Soviet/Russian Empire

• In Event: Not Quite the Blond Savior: Greeks and the Russian / Soviet Empire

Abstract

The Library of Congress holds the largest collection of Slavic materials in the United States. This collection contains a plethora of materials related to the myriad minority groups of the Russian/Soviet Empire. The Greek community was one such. This paper provides an exhaustive review of the Library’s resources on Greeks in the Soviet/Russian Empire. In doing so, it aims to identify lacunae on this broad topic, as well as to raise the potential for identifying resources for research scholars.
