Scope and Content Note
These papers contain the correspondence and writings of Sviatoslav V. Denisov, major general in the Don Cossack Army and participant in the Don Cossack uprising of 1918. In emigration, Denisov was chair of the Cossack Union in the United States, and an active member of various Cossack organizations, especially the All-Cossack Union.
The Correspondence file includes extensive correspondence with leading Russian émigré military and social leaders, providing a rich source of information on the activities of Cossack activities in the diaspora.
Denisov’s Speeches and writings consist mainly of materials relating to his history of the White Army, Belyi Al’bom, as well as research materials and articles on Cossack history.
The Subject file includes materials on the history of the Don Cossacks, the White Army, as well as Russian émigré organizations. Particularly important are the documents dating from 1917 onwards relating to the Don Cossack Army. Of special significance are the materials relating to the All-Cossack Union in the United States, as well as documents relating to the Don Cossack ataman elections.
Printed matter includes appeals and circulars from the civil war period, 1919-1920, published in territories occupied by the White Army, Soobshcheniia Donskoi Armii (1919), issues of Vol’naia kuban’, and Velikaia Rossiia.
Detailed processing and preservation microfilming for these materials were made possible by a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and by matching funds from the Hoover Institution and the Holy Trinity Seminary. The grant also provides depositing a microfilm copy in the Hoover Institution Archives. The original materials remain in the Holy Trinity Seminary Archives as its property. A transfer table indicating corresponding box and reel numbers is appended to this register. Any views, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in these materials do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
