-Founded in 1920 as the Red Army Archive, the Russian State Military Archive was opened to research in 1990. As it contains a large number of files of foreign origin, among them papers relating to Jewish organizations, the archive is of high interest for non-Russian-speaking researchers. Most of these files were taken from libraries and archives from all over Europe to Russia by the Soviet Trophy Brigades in the aftermath of the Second World War.

+===Conscription Lists===
+Research use: Hard to research because lists are arranged chronologically by district.  However, they serve as a census substitute for males.
+Record type: Military record of conscripts
+General: Lists of those being called up for military service.  Drafting of selected groups began earlier but as of January 1, 1874, all 21 year-old males were subject to military service.  Conscription occurred each year in October.  Initially, the term of service was 6 years active and 9 years reserve.  The length of active duty was reduced to 5 years in 1876 and then varied between 3-5 years thereafter.  Deferments were granted for only sons, sole breadwinners, etc.  Over 50 percent of the draftees were not inducted.
+Time period: 1874-1918.
+Contents: Name of draftee, birth date, religion, marital status, literacy; later lists include names of father and brothers, and the brother’s ages.
+Location: State archives.
+Population coverage: 15-40% depending on period of time.
+Reliability: High.<ref name="profile" />
