Vsya Rossiya

Last updated

Vsya Rossiya (literally translated "All Russia" or "The whole Russia") was the title of a series of directories of the Russian Empire published by Aleksei Sergeevich Suvorin [1] (and his heirs; Suvorin died in 1912) on a yearly basis from 1895 to 1923 and was continued under the name Ves SSSR (Literally translated All of the USSR or The whole USSR) from 1924 to 1931. Each volume was anywhere between 500 and 1500 pages long. The directories contained detailed lists of government offices, public services and medium and large businesses present in major cities across the Russian Empire. [2] These directories are often used by genealogists today to trace family members who were living in pre-revolutionary Russia and the early Soviet period when vital records are missing or prove difficult to find. Historians use them to research the social histories of late 19th century and early 20th century Russia.
