The collection includes programs of political parties, documents of social and religious movements, handbills, election materials, and posters. The collected posters and leaflets are still being processed (ca. 30,000 documents, 2nd half 20th c.–to present). There is an especially large collection of materials of elections from 1989 to present.

In the mid-1990s the sector receipted also the library of samizdat of Viacheslav Igrunov and Petr Butov from Odessa. Reference facilities: A special database covers the nontraditional press collection, with annotated entries for articles from periodical publications (i.e. those not recorded in Letopis' periodicheskoi pechati), for which a system of thematic search has been developed. |
