{"value"=>"<p>Kennan's research and publications on Russia are divided into four categories of material: biographical sketches on exiles; accounts of Russian prisons and the exile system; manuscripts of writings by Russian exiles; and other documents, which consist primarily of statistics, reports, and official communications.</p> <p>Many of the items sent from Siberia are unattributed or written by anonymous authors. In addition, two of Kennan's correspondents, Dr. Wollman and Moises Shlikerman, appear to have collected many of the items and sent them to Kennan for his research. Their contributions are noted on the itemized list included in box 6, folder 6 of this collection, as well as on the numbered document envelopes maintained with the documents themselves.</p> <p>There is some overlap of themes between the biographies and accounts of prison and exile, as materials in both pertain to the Yakutsk massacre, the Kara mines, and individuals associated with both.</p> <p>In English, French and Russian.</p>"}
