ARHIVSKI VJESNIK 48. (ZAGREB, 2005)

Strana - 114

nešto pojedinačnih spisa sačuvano u zbirci Kontrarevolucija i bjelogardijci, dok bi se zainteresirana istraživača moglo uputiti u potragu za rijetkim dokumentima tematskih zbirki nekadašnjega Arhiva Instituta za historiju radničkog pokreta Hrvatske (1910.-1941.). Dakako, nije isključeno da bi se na poneki trag o životu ruskih zarobljenika na ovom prostoru mogao pronaći i u drugim fondovima i zbirkama razdoblja o kom je bilo riječi. Treba napomenuti kako su predstavljeni dokumenti doneseni bez posebne analize, jer se budućim istraživačima tek htjelo ukazati na njihovo postojanje. Ukupno uzevši, predstavljeno gradivo, kao i ono koje bi tek valjalo pronaći, može poslužiti kao prikaz života na području Hrvatske jedne sudbinske skupine u Prvom svjetskom ratu. Summary RUSSIAN CAPTIVES OF THE FIRST WORD WAR IN THE RECORDS OF THE CROATIAN STATE ARCHIVES The paper was prepared for the international scientific Conference »Russia and the World Before, Düring and After the World War I in the Documents of Archives in Russia and Abroad« which took place between September 7-8 2004 in Moscow. So far Croatian historiography has not paid due attention to topics relating to the history of the World War I, although that period represents one of the most complex phenomena of this region. While political and military issues are analyzed in fcw studies, those that deal with broader and more comprehensive approach of everyday life cannot be found. One of the reasons may be in the fact that the amount of the First World War sources preserved in the Croatian State Archives is small. The article consists of the following titles and subtitles: Causes of the World War I, Supervisory Service for Prisoners of War, Documents: Captives in the Monarch)', Everyday Life of Russian Prisoners of War, Family Papers Erdoecly, Newspaper "Ilustrovani list", Escapes of Russian Prisoners of War, The End of War and Problems of Homecoming. Most documents relating to the Russian prisoners of war are found in the fonds of Croatian-Slavonian-Dalmatian Government, in the personal papers of count Erdoedy, same as in the "Illustrated Weekly" magazine ("Ilustrovani list"). All together they outline a life of the Russian prisoners of war in Croatia during the First World War. Key words: First World War, Croatian State Archives, Russian war captives
