Russian captives of the First Word War in the Records of the Croatian State Archives
Diana Mikšić
Sažetak
The paper was prepared for the international scientific conference »Russia and the World Before, During 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 few 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 Monarchy, Everyday Life of Russian Prisoners of War, Family Papers Erdoedy, 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.
