This Inventory provides a listing of the Soviet archives concerning India's relations with the USSR during 1917-1947. The Inventory goes beyond the standard publication of this type, which contains a list of collections and inventories of files. The Inventory provides a detailed account of individual files and their contents. In this respect, the volume contains raw material for researchers which is not normally available in inventories. No equivalent publication exists, nor any equivalent archival guide in any archive or library in the USSR or India.
