Internet and history: The website with a list of 100 main documents of Russian history presented

21 January 2015

The Russian Military-Historical Society prepared and published the full-text versions of 100 main documents of Russian history, recommended for the study in high schools and universities. The website of the project док.история.рф is placed on the domain of the portal of the Russian Military-Historical Society “History of Russia”.

Among one hundred sources of Russian history are such documents, as speech of Stalin on July 3, 1941, “Code of Law” by Ivan IV, “Domostroy”, Council Code of 1649, the Diploma of Pozharsky to convene the Zemsky Council, the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, the Russian-Byzantine agreement of 911 and the Helsinki Act of 1975.

“We selected documents which are relevant to the whole community and have focused on the attention, mainly, on documents that are not valid, but certainly constitute the history of our country", - says Director of the Department of Internet projects of the Russian Military-Historical Society Marina Bobkova. - All relevant documents of Russia can be freely read at the website of the President. We also deliberately did not include in the collection of documents of the XXI century, since most of them have not yet been archived and research, rather, cannot yet deal with politicians".

Main 100 documents – are sources of the first row. According to their origin they belong to the central government, in the sphere of influence - relate to the whole of Russian society. They will be accompanied by the sources of the second row, specifying basic or reflecting the realization of a key document. The strategy is based on the concept of the portal opening to expand the list by attracting new documents.
