Among the documentation of foreign writers are fonds of Henri Barbusse, Romain Rolland, Johannes Becher, Bertold Brecht, Erik Mühsam, and Louis Aragon. There are some records of literary journals and organizations, which include correspondence with foreign writers. These include fonds of the International Association of Revolutionary Writers, or MORP (Mezhdunarodnoe ob"edinenie revoliutsionnykh pisatelei) (1931–1935), the All-Russian Association of Proletarian Writers (VAPP), the Russian Association of Proletarian Writers (RAPP), the Organizing Committee of the Union of Soviet Writers, and the All-Russian Society of Peasant Writers (VOKP). The repository also retains the Archive of the All-Russian Union of Writers, going back to the 1920s. The archive contains the editorial records of literary publishing houses, such as the State Publishing House under the People’s Commissariat of Education (Gosizdat, and later OGIZ), and the Publishing House of Foreign Workers in the USSR, and journals, such as Krasnaia niva, Literaturnoe nasledstvo, Internatsional'naia literatura, and Novyi mir, among others. There are a number of collections of documents relating to Soviet and foreign literatures (English, American, French, Polish, Ukrainian, and Armenian), and also special collections entitled “Personalities of Literature and Art” (Deiateli literatury i iskusstva), “Verses of Various Authors,” “Autobiographies of Writers and Bibliographic Information,” and “Personalities of the Revolutionary Movement.” The division has a collection of more than 10,000 photographic negatives and a large fond of artistic illustrations—portraits, engravings, etchings, and drawings relating to twentieth-century literature. N.B. Earlier the division had an extensive collection of Slavic manuscript books and fonds relating to prerevolutionary literature, but in connection with the reorganization of the Institute in 1951, these materials were transferred to Pushkin House in Leningrad (see E–28).
