J. Arch Getty

Europe-Asia Studies, 2017, vol. 69, issue 10, 1584-1600

Abstract: This research note offers an outline of the origins of Stalinist secrecy policy: the conceptions behind it and the concrete practices for handling documents. It also provides an introduction to a recently declassified and still under-used set of documents, the Special Folders of the Politburo, the most secret documents of all.
