| Description | Papers of or acquired by George Soloveytchik relating to, and his membership of, the Russian Liberation Committee
The Russian Liberation Committee was established in early 1919 and was based in offices at 173 Fleet Street, London. Its primary objective were 'to acquaint the British public with the economic and political conditions of Russia' and 'to publicise the attempts of the anti-Bolshevik forces to restore the Russian State and create conditions favourable to normal social and economic life'.
The Committee instituted its weekly 'Bulletin' in Feb 1919 and by Apr it had also established a telegraphic service by which news from Liberated Russia was telegraphed to the Committee and then distributed. It also produced other pamphlets and anti-Bolshevik literature. In Feb 1920, the 'Bulletin' was incorporated into a new weekly review publication, 'The New Russia', which the Russian Liberation Committee inaugurated in response to a change in the Russian policy of the Allied States which coincided with defeats of the anti-Bolshevik forces. Copies of 'The New Russia', Vols 1-3, 1920, are available in the University's Main Library at per DK 1.N4. It appears to have been replaced in 1921 by a monthly review publication, 'Russian Life' |
