CONTAINER LIST NOTE: The inventory of selected files compiled by the Museum Archives volunteer. Excel lists of geographic locations are accessible for researchers. The original inventory of all files of the collection can be found at: http://www.statearchive.ru/383 NOTE: The collection, or Fond 7021 is divided into sub‐collections called “opisi”. Opis numbers follow the fond number in this Inventory, e.g., 7021‐30. For the most part, there is one “Opis” for every Soviet province (oblast or kray) which was occupied by the German Army in World War II. Within each Opis, documents are organized by folder (Delo). Each folder can be about the “oblast” or “Kray” as a whole or can cover one or more sub‐regions. Such sub‐regions can be “Rayony”, which we have translated as "regions". They can also be districts called “Uezdy” . They can also be cities or large towns. Folder numbers are listed on the left side of the page in this Inventory. Pages in each folder: Folders were numbered in the upper right‐hand corner of each sheet; these numbers can be seen in the microfilm. Back sides of sheets were not numbered. Only excerpts of folders were filmed; therefore, the number of pages in the microfilm of a folder is less that of the original folder. For those interested in the total number of pages in a folder, this can frequently be discerned handwritten on the cover of the folder. Reel 1 7021‐68.
