This project will produce a comprehensive compendium and analysis of sources from diplomatic missions on the territory of the Soviet Union reflected in reports and private letters of diplomats who were under the full informational and physical surveillance of the ODPU. The ODPU had access to information about the famine due to its penetration at the level of secondary positions of service personnel and its total control over diplomatic mail, actions, and contacts of foreign diplomats.
