This was in talk.politics.soviet, and I thought you conspirates could
find this interesting. I have now browsed few of the files, and some
of them are just boring, and some are almost 'hilarious', in a sort of
kafkaesque way. (No, they don't tell us who killed the JFK ;-)

Here is the rzic's original announcement from t.p.s, and after that
the contents of README file, giving list of the subjects:

 *** SIX DOCUMENTS ADDED TO SOVIET ARCHIVES COLLECTION ***

    With permission from the Russian government, the Library of
Congress has added six documents to the Soviet Archives
collection available across the Internet.  The new files are
located in /pub/soviet.archive/text.english along with the
original 25 documents.  They are labeled AA - AF, and once again
.BKG denotes a brief background statement and .DOC denotes the
English translation of the document itself.  The README file now
reflects the new, complete list of documents.

Here are the FTP instructions for retrieving the Soviet Archives
background and translation files:

          FTP seq1.loc.gov
          USERID: anonymous
          PASSWORD:  your network address
          CD pub
          CD soviet.archive
          get README                  All uppercase filename
          CD text.english
          ls
          get <filename(s)>           Type filename WITHOUT <>
          quit

Also, note that
          CD ..                       Moves up one subdirectory


   *** GRAPHIC IMAGES OF DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE BY FTP ***

Graphics files with images of the original (Russian) documents
are also available in /pub/soviet.archive/images.gif; however you
will need a gif viewer in order to see the images.

If you want to download the images:

          FTP seq1.loc.gov
          USERID: anonymous
          PASSWORD:  your network address
          CD pub
          CD soviet.archive
          CD images.gif
          ls
          binary
          get <filename(s)>           Type filename WITHOUT <>


A gif viewer called VPIC48 is available in /pub/soviet.archive in
zipped form along with an unzipping program, qextract.exe.

General information about the Library of Congress and the Soviet
Archives exhibit in particular are available in
/pub/soviet.archive.  These files include:  about.lc (a brief
history of the Library of Congress), conferen.log (a transcript
of a live, online discussion held June 18, 1992 between the
Librarian of Congress, James H. Billington, Mr. Pikhoia of the
Russian Archives, and users of America On Line from all around
the U.S.), and libntro (the Librarian of Congress' introduction
to the Soviet Archives exhibit).

An online brochure of the "Revelations from the Russian Archives"
exhibit is also available in /pub/soviet.archives in two formats:
a DOS print file called handbook.iii to be sent to a LaserJetIII
printer, and handbook.ps to be printed to a postscript printer on
either the DOS or Macintosh platform.  Since the brochure was
created on DOS platform, using a LaserJetIII printer, the best
results are achieved by printing the online brochure to a
LaserJetIII printer using the DOS copy command (copy/b filename
lpt1).


Good luck and enjoy the documents!
