Summary/Abstract: The Stalinist period is the last phase of Soviet history that may be studied with the contribution of significant, if sometimes limited or patchy, archival resources. Investigations carried out from archival records in recent years have yielded remarkable results. The outpouring of information, consisting of previously unpublished documents and research material, has been so profuse that even specialists are finding it hard to keep up. Indeed, the opening of the archives has spurred a change in methodological approaches.
