Женевский архив Е.Д. Кусковой

The article provides a description of the archival collection of E.D. Kuskova and S.N. Prokopovich, housed in the archival collection of the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva. Acquired by the Institute in 1961 as a part of Boris Suvorin’s collection, it has not received attention from researchers until now. The general structure of the collection and the contents of its individual parts, including printed, manuscript, and illustrative materials, are described. Special attention is given to the manuscript materials of the collection. In particular, the personal correspondence stored in the archive is examined, including letters from prominent representatives of the Russian emigration, such as Georgii Adamovich, Mark Aldanov, Boris Bakhmeteff, Ivan Bunin, Avgusta Damanskaia, Fedor Dan, Don-Aminado, Aleksandr Kerenskii, Vasilii Maklakov, Nikolai Rubakin, Andrei Sedykh, Fedor Stepun, Gleb Struve, Petr Struve, Teffi, Mark Veinbaum, and Anatolii Velmin. The article also pres- ents a letter from Antonina Bem (the widow of Alfred Bem) to E.D. Kuskova in 1946, describing the living conditions of the Russian emigrés of the first wave in post-war Prague under Soviet rule. Additionally, congratulatory letters from Ivan Bunin and Don-Aminado (with a poem) on the occasion of Kuskova’s eightieth birthday (1949) are reproduced.
