Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper examines the character, structure, and fate of the archive of the Russian military attaché in Japan. This investigation describes the multidimensional and complex nature of the archive, incorporating several independent volumes of documents associated mostly with activities surrounding Russian supply commissions in Japan from 1914 to 1921. The author highlights the crucial role of the Russian All-Military Union in saving the historical records of the Russian Army and emphasizes that these activities, ignored until now in the description of existing collections, constitute an important contextual background of the archive that symbolically reflects the drama of Russian postrevolutionary epoch.
