question about archives in Moscow and Petersburg

[Pendergast, John J CIV USA USMA]

Dear Judy-

Since you mention that your student is a Russian native, if the student is male, please ensure that he has resolved his citizenship status here in the U.S., i.e. has obtained at least a Green Card or already has a passport.  Otherwise, as soon as he sets foot on Russian soil, he may be conscripted into the army.

Subject: [SEELANGS] question about archives in Moscow and Petersburg

Dear colleagues,

I have a graduate student (Russian native, studying in US) planning to work this summer at RGALI, TsGALI, GOPB, GARF and the FSB archive.  If you have worked in any of these locations recently, could you possibly let me know how helpful/not you found staff (how are current tensions affecting access) and also what kind of financial charges you encountered? We'd be very grateful for any information.  Thank you!

Judy
