| Annotation | The article deals with the problem of the publication and study of archival documents. Documents from the State Archives of the Trans-Baikal Territory are initially analyzed, the author points out that the data files are kept in the archives in the so-called “mixed” funds, often with no valid titles, that makes it difficult to find them and to study. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time the author introduces archival documents which have not been previously published and analyzes them, part of this study is historical sources criticism which is both external and internal.. Based on the interrogation protocols on charges of involvement into counterrevolutionary Trotskyist organization held in the State Archives of the Trans-Baikal Territory, we conclude that in the Soviet Union, governmental authorities everywhere created a sense of “besieged fortress”, a feeling of being surrounded by both external and internal enemies. Special attention is given to the document, which describes the living conditions of the arrested people and tortures they were subjected to during interrogation. The author emphasizes the positive elements such as high information value, openness of the archive funds for researchers and friendly professional attitude of the employees at the State archives of the Trans-Baikal Territory. |
