RGASPI

The COMINTERN archive consists of all the records created under the authority of the Executive Committee (ECCI) of the Third International. It contains original documents in more than thirty languages from seven Congresses and thirteen ECCI Plenums, drawn up by more than seventy Communist and Left Socialist parties, together with different international organizations, often with personal corrections by famous figures in the Communist movement. They cover the whole period of the activity of the Third International, that is, from 1919 to 1943. In 1943, after the disbanding of the COMINTERN, its archives were transferred for storage to the Central Party Archive of the Institute of Marxism-Leninism. Today, the COMINTERN archives are held by the Russian State Archive of Social and Political History (RGASPI) in Moscow, operating under the supervision of the Federal Archives Bureau of Russia (Rosarchiv).
