The Hoover Institution Library & Archives houses publications and archival collections chronicling historical struggles for freedom, and it has long been a beacon for Russian, Ukrainian, and Soviet dissidents. As articulated by Herbert Hoover upon founding the Institution, its mission is “from its records, to recall the voice of experience against the making of war, and by the study of these records and their publication, to recall man's endeavors to make and preserve peace.” For this list of newly cataloged materials, we include four books and a microfiche collection with themes focused on recent scholarship on modern Russian foreign policy, anti-Soviet Nazi propaganda published in 1944, the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, the history of independence in Ukraine, and more.
