The U.S. Naval Academy Collection of Soviet & Russian TV
Compiled by Karen R. Ploucquet
The United States Naval Academy Collection of Soviet and Russian
television at the Library of Congress (USNA Collection) features
an eclectic amalgam of Soviet programming since 1986 which, at
its best, its worst, and even its most mundane, will provide not
only a fascinating record of the glasnost era's dynamic effects
on Soviet society and television, but also an opportunity for the
continued understanding of this era's legacies to future generations.
Although the USNA Collection is primarily a Russian-language
collection, the language barrier does not necessarily limit use
of the Collection to those researchers with Russian language skills.
Several tapes feature English voice-overs, while other tapes have
been partially translated, or at least abstracted, in the supplementary
materials to the Collection. Although most of this kind of documentation
has been provided for the regularly- scheduled news programs, researchers
with other interests and minimal Russian skills will discover that
the audio-visual aspects of the videotape medium itself can provide
interesting information on topics such as production/interpretation
details for music or ballet performances, significant current events
as seen through Soviet news camera footage, or Soviet television
production values.
This guide, the express purpose of which is to unlock the doors
to this valuable but often unwieldy collection, represents the
product of a 4-month effort during the summer and autumn of 1992
to transform the USNA Collection into a reader-accessible resource.
The information in this guide is derived from supplementary research
in some of the books and articles included in the bibliography
of materials for suggested further research and from a careful
analysis not only of most of those videotapes recorded between
December 1988 and February 1991, but also of all the available
documentation to the Collection. Thus, the researcher is strongly
encouraged to study this guide both before and while using the
Collection to conduct research since it is an ever-growing collection
comprised not only of several thousand videotapes, but also of
various and sundry supplementary materials, including both printed
and computer-based abstracts and translations. To help the researcher
navigate through this sea of tapes and booklets, this guide provides
a detailed description of the Collection, a transliterated list
and description of the most regularly featured programs, a guide
which explains how to find a program of interest in the Collection's
supplementary materials, a guide which explains how to find the
Library of Congress shelf number for a given program, a bibliography
of materials for suggested further research, and a chronological
list of selected documentaries with some subject access.
The videotapes in the Collection are available neither for loan
nor for use as stock footage in television or film productions,
but they may be viewed at the Library by researchers by advance
appointment. For further information, see Appendix IV: Guidelines
for Viewing Films and Videotapes on page 59 of this guide, or write

Sound Division; Library of Congress; Washington, DC 20540; Telephone:

The History of the Collection
In the early 1980's, when the international climate was still
frozen in Cold-War stalemate and the acquisition of Soviet military
intelligence and political information ranked high on the Defense
Department's list of priorities, the United States Navy contracted
the company International Video Broadcasts, Inc. (IVB), to videotape
Soviet television programs from satellite transmissions. Sometime
in early 1986, the company proposed sending these tapes to the
Library of Congress for archival purposes; the proposal was accepted,
and thus the Library's United States Naval Academy Collection of
Soviet television came into being. Although acquisitions for the
latter half of 1986 were sporadic at best, the Library has been
receiving the tapes of Soviet television broadcasts quite regularly
since 1987.
Since then, the volume and diversity of the USNA Collection have
presented substantial challenges to efforts at comprehensive cataloging.
As a result, periodic increases or decreases in budget and staff
have accounted for certain inconsistencies among various parts
of the Collection; these inconsistencies, which are described in
considerable detail in Part 4 of this guide, include differences
not only in which and how many programs were recorded, but also
in how well the recorded programs have been documented.
Given the military and political nature of the Navy's impetus
for the project, the primary focus of the Collection was initially
on the staple domestic and international news programs, respectively
entitled Vremia (Time) and Mezhdunarodnaia panorama (International
Panorama). The Cold-War sensibility was also one of the primary
reasons for discrepancies in the documentation of the various programs;
that is, in addition to a heavy emphasis on the taping of programs
with a military and political focus in the earlier stages of the
project, there has also been a disproportionately strong effort
by IVB, in both earlier and later years, to document and translate
primarily those programs containing military or political subject
matter, even as the Collection has gradually become more diversified.
Thus, the non-Russian-speaking researcher who has an interest in
military or political topics will have at least some access to,
for example, Soviet newscasts, by means of the abstracts and translations
in the supplementary materials.
The appearance of any other kinds of programs on the early tapes
was entirely coincidental; fragments of programs such as arts performances
or feature films, which were not considered "important," were recorded
only because they immediately preceded or followed the main news
program. Nevertheless, between 1988 and 1990, the number of regularly-recorded
programs increased steadily; the tapes began to feature a wider
array of program genres, including panel discussion programs, interviews
with members of government, feature and documentary films, television
magazines, educational and entertainment programs for children,
concerts, nature shows, broadcasts of entire speeches by Gorbachev,
and more. Researchers who possess the requisite Russian language
skills and an interest in the above- mentioned programming should
not allow the dearth of IVB documentation for these kinds of programs
to deter them from seeking out both the regular broadcasts and
special features which comprise this part of the Collection.
Early in 1991, the taping was again limited to three programs
-- 120 Minut (later renamed Utro), Vremia, and Televizionnaia sluzhba
novostei. After the coup in August 1991, the three programs continued
to be taped, but the name Vremia was changed to TV Inform, which
was ultimately changed again in 1992 to Novosti. Please note that
the new CIS Novosti is a different one from the brief Soviet Novosti
program described in number 26 of Part 2 of this guide. Since January
1992, the only programs of central CIS television which the Library
has been receiving are Novosti and its Sunday magazine- format
Itogi (Summaries).
The Library currently accessions over 70 new videotapes per month.
In addition to the videotapes of the central television broadcasts,
the Library has also been receiving videotapes of broadcasts by
the local television stations of the Russian Republic since October
1991; these tapes feature a larger variety of programs (see page
15) than current CIS television acquisitions.
Tips on Viewing the Tapes
With the exception of the relatively recent Russian Republic
broadcasts recorded onto 1/2" videotapes in SECAM mode, the video
system used in the USSR, most of the USNA Collection is recorded
onto 3/4" videotapes in SECAM. Only a few tapes in the collection
are recorded in NTSC mode, the video system used in the United
States; in these cases, the tape will usually be labeled as such
and it will be necessary to adjust the video player to the proper
setting.
One should not assume that a program will always start at the
beginning of the tape. The Soviet television schedule is highly
irregular compared to that of the United States. Programs range
in length anywhere from 5 minutes to 185 or more and therefore
seldom start neatly on the half-hour; the daily program is flexible
and often veers from the schedule announced in the printed television
guide; regularly-scheduled programs such as Vremia, a hallowed
and immovable staple of the programming day, are often sandwiched
intrusively in between parts of long special-feature programs (unlike
U.S. television, in which special programs, such as lengthy football
games, tend more often to interrupt regularly-scheduled programs).
Another reason for confusion regarding the beginnings and ends
of programs on some of the videotapes is that, given the seeming
jumble of the Soviet programming day, sometimes IVB technicians
did not record the tapes at the proper time. As a result, some
programs are incomplete, missing either their first or last part.
Thus, if a program anywhere in the supplementary materials is labelled "Part
2," it is not safe to assume that there exists also a "Part 1." One
should also note that many programs have duplicates and even triplicates,
which indicates two possibilities: either the program is one which
was recorded by two tapers at separate facilities, or one of the
tapes features an English voice-over. It is recommended in this
situation that the researcher call up all versions of the program.
The researcher should be aware that most dates mentioned in the
Collection which are indicated by a purely numerical system are
based on the European model (see p. 20 for a full explanation).
Furthermore, the time of day for programs is noted according to
the 24-hour clock (military time) and is based on the Moscow time
zone; the only exceptions to this are any times accompanied by
the notation "GMT," which indicates Greenwich Mean Time.
The final technical obstacle which a researcher might encounter
while working with the tapes in this Collection is the possibility
of some form of audio-visual disturbance as a result of poor conditions
during satellite transmission. The effects of this type of disturbance
can range from mildly annoying interruptions to large blocks of
lost transmissions which render the tape unviewable. Though efforts
have been made either to weed out or to label those tapes with
high levels of disturbance, researchers should be aware that they
may indeed encounter tapes with poor transmission quality. Top

Introduction
To use the USNA Collection, three key routes of access are available:
- *Date -- The researcher is studying a specific event or a
particular period of time in recent Soviet history, makes an
educated guess as to which broadcast days might provide the most
information about the topic of interest, and initiates his or
her search based on date.
- *Program -- The researcher is interested in the format of
or the kind of information provided by a particular program and
initiates his or her search based on program title.
- *Subject -- The researcher is interested in a particular subject
area and browses both the Boxed Materials as well as the miscellaneous
sections in the Card Catalog (both described below) for any programs
of interest.
In all cases, a search will at some point require the researcher
to browse the supplementary materials to the Collection. This part
of the Guide is designed expressly to help the researcher use the
materials to find a program which relates to his or her topic of
interest; Part 5 of this Guide is designed to help the researcher
locate the shelf number of a given program so that it can be called
up for viewing in the MBRS Division of the Library.
The Documentation of the Collection
As the Collection has changed over time, so also have the supplementary
materials changed in format and in content. They fall into the
following five categories:
- *The Boxed Supplementary Materials
- *The Card Catalog
- *The Program Lists
- *The Computer Guides
- *The MUMS Online Catalog
Most of the supplementary materials to the Collection are housed
in numbered boxes whose contents are described in considerable
detail in Appendix I: Guide to the Boxed Supplementary Materials
on pages 29-35. The Soviet Television Card Catalog documents approximately
two years of videotapes and is explained in further detail on page
22. The Program Lists on pages 37-45 (Appendix II) cover the period
approximately between May 1990 and February 1991 and are described
on page 23. The Computer Guides are twenty-seven floppy disks with
WordPerfect documents roughly covering 1987 to 1991 and are explained
on page 23. Please note that, unfortunately, the Library currently
does not have the facilities to make the Computer Guides available
to the public. The boxed supplementary materials and the card catalog,
however, are available upon request from the reference librarians
in the Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound Division
in Room 336 of the Madison Building of the Library of Congress.
The researcher should be forewarned that the nature of the supplementary
materials to the Collection is highly confusing and inconsistent,
which can be ascribed to the history of the Collection's development.
When the Library first began receiving the videotapes, the only
program being recorded was Vremia. Although Mezhdunarodnaia panorama
was added shortly thereafter, the Collection was still manageable
enough to be entered, tape by tape, into the MUMS Online Catalog
by staff with little or no Russian skills. The MUMS Catalog (Multiple
Use MARC System) comprises a major part of the official reader-accessible
online computer database used at the Library of Congress; for more
information on the Library's MUMS Catalog, please consult either
a reference librarian or the booklet entitled Library of Congress
Information System: User and Reference Manual, which is available
at most online terminals in the Library. About 1000 of the earliest
Soviet television acquisitions are available on MUMS and can be
accessed either by title or as a group with the command "find c
naval academy collection; f=av." The researcher should note that
MUMS entries for the Collection provide very little information
beyond standard data on program title, date, and shelf number.
In the autumn of 1988, a larger variety of programs was added
to the Collection. Both the diversity of the programs and the number
of videotapes which the Library received increased significantly,
and though IVB supplied the Library with documentation to some
programs, many other programs not only remained undocumented but
also were housed in cases that were labeled poorly with regard
both to program title and date. Although some programs were added
to MUMS even after the number of videotapes sent to the Library
increased, this effort was discontinued soon thereafter; as a result,
most of the tapes from the next two years fell victim to the Library's
infamous and ever-present "arrearage problem"; although the tapes
were in the Library's possession, there would be no record of either
their shelf number or their contents until they were identified
and accessioned.
In 1991, an effort to bring out of arrearage many of the tapes
recorded between December 1988 and February 1991 led to the development
of the Program Lists and the addition of shelf number information
to many of the booklets in the boxed supplementary materials. A
staff member assigned shelf numbers to many of the unaccessioned
tapes, which had been arranged in chronological order. For those
tapes which were recorded during a time period for which International
Video Broadcasts had provided descriptive booklets of the programs,
the shelf numbers were noted in ink next to the program titles
listed in the booklets. For those tapes which at that time lacked
any kind of documentation (May 1990 to February 1991), the staff
member noted the program title, date, time, and shelf number of
a tape on sheets of paper in chronological order -- these sheets
of paper are the Program Lists. It should be noted that in most
cases, the tapes were not viewed, and the Program Lists only reflect
the information written on the outside of the videocassette by
the staff at IVB.
In the summer of 1992, an effort to continue to bring tapes out
of arrearage led directly to the development of the Card Catalog
and also of this guide. Although this guide is currently the primary
source of information about the Collection, efforts are being made
to enter the entire Collection into a single computer database
to facilitate the more efficient retrieval of information. This
will eventually eliminate the confusing inconsistencies inherent
in the many sources which currently document the Collection.
- *Description of the Boxes
The most confusing aspect of the boxed supplementary materials,
most of which are in booklet form, is that their format has been
remarkably inconsistent throughout the first years of the Collection.
Not only have the titles of the guides changed over the years,
but also what information they supply, how the information is presented,
what time-frame is covered by a single item, and which programs
are featured. These differences will be explained below.
Although subject descriptions and even some translations of Vremia
broadcasts represent the bulk of the boxed supplementary materials,
several other programs are also included for other parts of the
Collection; they are Mezhdunarodnaia panorama, Utro, Sluzhu Sovetskomu
Soiuzu, and Televizionnaia sluzhba novostei. Please note that in
September of 1991 (following the August Coup), Vremia is briefly
replaced by Televizionnaia sluzhba novostei, later renamed TV Inform,
and finally, as of 1 Jan 92, renamed Novosti. The printed materials
reflect these changes as well as the official advent of local television
programming; the Library possesses tapes and documentation since
October 1991 for both FSU TV (Former Soviet Union TV) and for St.
Petersburg and Moscow local television stations (see Box 11). The
most regularly-recorded and regulary-documented programs of the
Russian television stations are those listed on page 15. There
is a strong possibility that, in the future, the Library will begin
to receive more television broadcasts recorded from the stations
of recently independent, formerly Soviet nations such as Ukraine.
Please note that any dates in the boxed supplementary materials
indicated by a purely numerical system are based on the European
model; that is, "5-1-90" means "5 Jan 90," not "1 May 90." The
only exceptions to this are those booklets which document the time-spans
of Mar-Sep 1988 and Apr 90- Feb 91; in these cases the system is
based on the American model.
The following is an alphabetical list of the titles of the various
formats in which the boxed supplementary materials appear; it should
be used as a glossary in conjunction with the Guide to the Boxed
Supplementary Materials on pages 29-35 (Appendix I). Please note
that, for whatever dates Program Lists are available, these have
been included in the boxes.
- *FSU Television -- Former Soviet Union Television; brief subject
descriptions of news stories on TV Inform (Novosti) and other
selected programs.
- *Gists -- Television guides representing entire broadcast
days, including the times and titles of programs.
- *Gists and Indexes [sic] -- Television guide for the channel "Program
1"; brief subject descriptions of features from Utro, Televizionnaia
sluzhba novostei, and Vremia.
- *Indexes -- Brief subject descriptions of news features from
Vremia.
- *Leadership Citations -- Detailed guide to television visuals
of "who's who" in post-Coup politics and economics.
- *Research Report -- Translations of selected segments of the
programs Vremia and Mezhdunarodnaia panorama; "Indexes" for Vremia.
- *Saint Petersburg and Moscow Local Television -- Brief subject
descriptions of features from selected programs.
- *Video Notes -- Translations and analyses of selected segments
of the programs Vremia and Mezhdunarodnaia Panorama.
- *Video Selection Lists -- Brief descriptions of broadcast
days; subject matter of sample programs from local television
stations of the Russian Republic (Saint Petersburg and Moscow
Television) or of Ukraine.
Description of the Card Catalog
The card catalog to the USNA Collection contains records of most
of the videotapes recorded roughly between December 1988 and February
1991 with one significant gap between April and December of 1989.
(This gap is filled by the boxed supplementary materials.) Each
card usually provides most of the following information: the romanized
Russian title of the program or programs, the English translation
of the title, the date of the program, the time of the program,
and the Library of Congress shelf number in the top right-hand
corner. Any of the above data, except for date and shelf number,
may be missing from a card if the information was unavailable.
The cards in the catalog are arranged alphabetically according
to program and are in chronological order within each program section.
For a list and description of the programs in the catalog, please
refer back to pages 9-14 of this guide. Several miscellaneous sections
have been added to the end of the card catalog where the alphabetic
progression of regularly- scheduled programs ends; they are designed
to encompass those broadcasts which do not qualify as regular programs.
These sections, which the researcher is encouraged to browse since
the programs they contain may not appear anywhere else in the supplementary
materials, are the following:
- *Miscellaneous -- Programs of unclear subject matter but identified
by title.
- *Arts and Humanities -- Performances of classical music, rock
music, folk music, ballet, opera, theater, folk dancing; interviews
and features on writers, directors, dancers, etc.
- *Business -- Documentary & discussion programs dealing with
entrepreneurship and foreign business.
- *Children's Programming -- Cartoons, films, special features,
etc.
- *Documentary Films -- Topics of religion, politics, history,
arts, etc.
- *Feature Films -- Films from Russia, Italy, Australia, etc.;
usually fragmentary.
- *Gorbachev, etc. -- Speeches by Gorbachev, Reagan, Bush; national
and international press conferences; interviews with important
figures from the Soviet Union and other nations.
- *Politics -- Reports and interviews dealing with domestic
Soviet politics - the progress of elections, the processes of
government, etc.
- *Special Features and Panel Discussions -- Miscellaneous topics.
- *Sports -- Hockey, soccer, exercise shows, international competitions,
etc.
- *Description of the Program Lists
As a resource for locating programs, the Program Lists, which
cover May 1990 to February 1991, should be used in much the same
way as the Card Catalog; they should be browsed. Although the lists
are not organized conveniently according to subject or program
title, they are arranged chronologically and are short enough so
that they can be searched easily according to date or program.
Program Lists are located in Appendix II on pages 37-45 and in
Boxes 7 and 8 of the boxed supplementary materials.
- *Description of the Computer Guides
Although the Computer Guides are currently unavailable for public
use, it should be noted that they are a collection of twenty-seven
high-density floppy disks which contain WordPerfect documents describing
certain portions of the Collection. Housed in two boxes, the disks
are organized in the following way:
BOX 1 *"I Serve" -- 24 Jul 88 - 29 Jan 90 -- 3 disks
Extensive translations of selected segments of the program Sluzhu
Sovetskomu Soiuzu/Na sluzhbe otechestvu.
*Indexes -- Apr 87 - Sep 91 -- 7 disks
Brief subject descriptions of news features from Vremia and
Mezhdunarodnaia panorama.
BOX 2 *Stories -- 15 May 87 - 27 Sep 91 -- 17 disks
Extensive translations of selected segments of the program Vremia.

To view a videotape in the USNA Collection, a researcher must
first ascertain its shelf number from the following possible sources:
- *The MUMS Online Catalog
- *The Soviet Television Card Catalog
- *The Boxed Supplementary Materials
- *The Program Lists
Please note:
- *All date-spans merely indicate ranges of dates and do not
necessarily indicate inclusive or complete holdings; as a result,
all possible sources should be employed in the search for shelf
numbers.
- *THERE IS SIGNIFICANT OVERLAP AMONG ALL THE SOURCES TO THE
COLLECTION; NO SINGLE SOURCE IS A COMPLETE RECORD OF EVERYTHING.
WHEN A RESEARCHER CANNOT FIND A PARTICULAR DATE OR PROGRAM IN
ONE SOURCE, HE OR SHE IS STRONGLY URGED TO CHECK THE OTHER SOURCES.
- *The MUMS Online Catalog (Jun 86 - Jul 90)
Almost 1000 videotapes in the USNA Collection are available on
the MUMS Catalog (see page 18) and can be accessed with the command "find
c naval academy collection; f=av." The individual programs included
(sporadically) in the catalog are Vremia (search "Vremya"), Na
sessii verkhovnogo soveta SSSR, Mezhdunarodnaia panorama, Sluzhu
Sovetskomu Soiuzu, Na vtorom sezde narodnykh deputatov, and 120
minut; they can be accessed individually with the command "find
t [title of program]; f=av." MUMS entries list shelf numbers under
the heading "LC CALL NUMBER." Please note that all dates in MUMS
which are represented by a purely numerical system are based on
the American model, i.e."5-1-90" means "1 May 90," not "5 Jan 90."
- *The Boxed Supplementary Materials (May-Dec 89, Feb 91 -- )
Virtually all tapes recorded since the middle of February 1991 have
their shelf numbers marked directly on those pages of the supplementary
materials on which their contents are described. In the case of the
recent
1/2" tapes (whose shelf numbers begin with VA_, as opposed to VB_ for the
3/4" tapes), those programs which are described on pages without shelf numbers
should be assumed to be located on the same tape as the program whose shelf number
directly precedes the desired program. For shelf number information for any programs
recorded before the middle of February 1991, the boxed materials are helpful
for finding only those tapes recorded between May and December 1989. For information
on tapes recorded during Jun 86 - Apr 89 or during Jan 90 - mid-Feb 91, it is
recommended that the researcher consult the other shelf number sources. Program
Lists have been included in Boxes 7
and 8 (see below).
- *The Soviet TV Card Catalog (Dec 88 - Feb 91, exc. Apr-Dec 89)
Each card in the catalog represents one tape; for every tape in the catalog,
the shelf number has been noted in the top right-hand corner of the card. This
will facilitate shelf number access for those researchers who are looking for
a program within the time-span covered by the catalog or who are using the
catalog as their primary source for information about the existence of a tape.
- *The Program Lists (May 90 - Feb 91)
The Program Lists on pages 37-45 (Appendix II) and in Boxes 7 and 8 of the
boxed supplementary materials supply the program title, date, time, and shelf
number for a given tape and should be included in searches for programs which
fall within the time-span noted above.
